Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitive measurement of optical nonlinearities using a single beam
TL;DR: In this paper, a single-beam technique for measuring both the nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient for a wide variety of materials is reported, including a comprehensive theoretical analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-sensitivity, single-beam n(2) measurements.
TL;DR: A simple yet highly sensitive single-beam experimental technique for the determination of both the sign and magnitude of n(2), where the sample is moved along the z direction of a focused Gaussian beam while the repetitively pulsed laser energy is held fixed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dispersion of bound electron nonlinear refraction in solids
TL;DR: In this article, a two-hand model is used to calculate the scaling and spectrum of the nonlinear absorption of semiconductors and wide-gap optical solids, and the bound electronic nonlinear refractive index n/sub 2/ is obtained using a Kramers-Kronig transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-focusing and self-defocusing by cascaded second-order effects in KTP.
Richard DeSalvo,David J. Hagan,Mansoor Sheik-Bahae,George I. Stegeman,E. W. Van Stryland,H. Vanherzeele +5 more
TL;DR: This work monitors the induced phase change produced by a cascaded chi((2)):chi((2)) process in KTP near the phase-matching angle on a picosecond 1.06-microm-wavelength beam using the Z-scan technique and predicts the maximum small-signal effective nonlinear refractive index.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of bound-electronic and free-carrier nonlinearities in ZnSe, GaAs, CdTe, and ZnTe
Ali A. Said,Mansoor Sheik-Bahae,David J. Hagan,Tai-Huei Wei,Jun Wang,J. Young,E. W. Van Stryland +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend the application of the Z-scan experimental technique to determine free-carrier nonlinearities in the presence of bound electronic refraction and two-photon absorption.
