Abstract
The problem of photon-pair transmission through an absorbing medium is discussed using two different approaches, a perturbative Fermi’s Golden Rule calculation and a calculation using photon wavefunction description. The two approaches produce identical results regarding the two-photon absorption characteristics, despite their conceptual differences.
