Two-photon absorption is treated from the point of view of quantum theory in this paper. Both rigorous and approximate solutions are presented. It is shown that the theoretical extreme value of photon antibunching, characterized by the normalized variance of integrated intensity, is − 1/2, while its practical value in real experiments is about −1/3 for both coherent and chaotic input radiation. In the case of the chaotic input radiation, fully coherent radiation can be obtained in this process. Possibilities for experimental realization of two-photon absorption by means of multiple second harmonic generation in thin nonlinear plates, with the generated second harmonic radiation filtered out, are discussed and some values of nonlinear plate thickness, number of light transits and mean intensity of input radiation are estimated. From the standpoint of the possibilities of detection of statistical properties of the resulting light, classical light fluctuation filtering seems to be more practical than the quantum counterp
