      We present a benchmark study of density functional approximation (DFA) performances in predicting the two-photon-absorption strengths in π-conjugated molecules containing electron-donating/-accepting moieties. A set of 48 organic molecules is chosen for this purpose, for which the two-photon-absorption (2PA) parameters are evaluated using different DFAs, including BLYP, PBE, B3LYP, PBE0, CAM-B3LYP, ...
