Popis: The molecular origin of two- (2PA) and three-photon absorption (3PA) activity in three experimentally studied chromophores, prototypical dipolar systems, is investigated. To that end, a generalized few-state model (GFSM) formula is derived for the 3PA transition strength for nonhermitian theories and employed at the coupled-cluster level of theory. Using various computational techniques such as molecular dynamics, linear and quadratic response theories, and GFSM, an in-depth analysis of various optical channels involved in 2PA and 3PA processes is presented. It is found that the four-state model involving the second and third excited singlet states as intermediates is the smallest model among all considered few-state approximations that produces 2PA and 3PA transition strengths (for S
