By ultrafast X-ray diffraction (UXRD) we quantify the strain from coherent and incoherent phonons generated by one- and two-photon absorption in bismuth-doped yttrium iron garnet (Bi:YIG). This ferrimagnetic insulator is a workhorse for laser-induced spin dynamics that may be excited indirectly via phonons. We identify the two-photon absorption by the quadratic fluence dependence of the transient strain and confirm a short lifetime of the intermediate state via the inverse proportional dependence on the pump-pulse duration. From this, we estimate the two-photon absorption coefficient at 800nm using the linear relation between strain and absorbed energy density. For below band gap excitation, large fluences of about 100 mJ/cm2 and a pulse duration of 120 fs lead to considerable strain amplitudes of 0.1% which are driven exclusively by two-photon absorption.
