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
