Trans-4-[p-(N-hydroxyethyl-N-methylamino)styryl]-N-methylpyridinium p-toluene sulfonate (abbreviated as HMASPS) is a newly synthesized dye that possesses a much greater two-photon-absorption (TPA) cross-section and much stronger upconversion fluorescence emission than common dyes (such as rhodamine) when excited with near infrared laser radiation. TPA induced upconverted lasing has been obtained in HMASPS solution in dim eth ylformamide (abbreviated as DMF) pumped by near infrared laser beam from 900 to 1150 nm. The central wavelength and bandwidth of the lasing are 626 nm and 26 nm. The upconversion efficiencies of 1cm-path HMASPS solution in DMF at 0.05 mol/l concentration at different wavelengths from 900 to 1150 nm were measured. The net upconversion efficiency from the absorbed pump energy to the upconverted lasing output was 14% at the pump energy level of 2.04 mJ when the pump laser beam was provided by Nd:YAG laser. The molecular TPA cross-section at 1064 nm was $\sigma_{2}=6.0\times10^{-48}$ cm$^{4}{\cdot}$s/photon measured by using an open aperture Z-scan system. The linear absorption, single-photon induced fluorescence, two-photon induced fluorescence and two-photon induced upconverted lasing properties have also been studied in this paper.
