3. Figure 1 Photophysical Properties of TBT
(A) 1P (black line, referring to black axes) and 2P absorption (red line, referring to red axes) of TBT in toluene at room temperature.
(B) Normalized emission spectra of TBT in solvents of different polarity. λex = 470 nm.

4. Figure 2 Computed and Experimental Absorption Spectrum of TBT
TDDFT/CAM-B3LYP/6-31G** computed (bottom) and experimental (top) 1P absorption spectrum of TBT. The simulated spectrum shows the lowest three electronic transitions, broadened by Lorenzian functions chosen to facilitate visual comparison with the experimental spectrum. The orbitals participating in the leading excitations are also shown.

5. Figure 3 Photophysical Properties of Si-TBT
(A) Absorption spectra of Si-TBT (black line) and Si (red line) in toluene.
(B) Emission spectrum of Si-TBT (black line, λex = 515 nm) in comparison with that of an optically matched solution (at 515 nm) of Si and TBT (green line) in toluene. Inset shows time-delayed (Δt = 40 μs) excitation spectra of Si-TBT and Si in toluene (λem = 800 nm).

6. Figure 4 2P Excitation of Si-TBT versus Si
Decay of emission intensity of Si-TBT (black line) and Si (red line) at λem < 900 nm upon 2P excitation at 960 nm. Inset shows the dependence of the 2PA signal on the laser power: slopes are 1.85 and 1.74 for Si-TBT and Si, respectively.
