Abstract
Absorption of thin Al2O3 films was measured at 193 nm with an ArF-laser calorimeter. In addition to the expected high linear absorption coefficient, we found, for the first time to our knowledge, that two-photon absorption and transient color-center formation are nonnegligible loss channels in thin films at 193 nm. The nonlinear absorption coefficient is of the order of several times 10-4 cm/W.
