Time-resolved Z-scan measurements of optical nonlinearities
We introduce a temporal delay in one beam of the two-color Z-scan apparatus, which measures nondegenerate nonlinear absorption and nondegenerate nonlinear refraction. This technique allows us to time resolve separately the sign and the magnitude of the nonlinear absorption and refraction at frequency p that are due to the presence of a strong excitation at frequency oe. For example, in semicond...
متن کاملDiscrimination between Nonorthogonal Two-photon Polarization States *
It is shown that generalized measurements, required for optimally discriminating between nonorthogonal joint polarization states of two indistinguishable photons, can be realized with the help of polarization-dependent twophoton absorption and by means of sum-frequency generation. Optimization schemes are investigated with respect to minimizing the error probability in inferring the states, as ...
متن کاملModified Z-scan techniques for investigations of nonlinear chiroptical effects.
We present simple modifications of the classic Z-scan technique for the investigations of nonlinear chiroptical effects, i.e. nonlinear circular birefringence and two-photon circular dichroism. Two methods for studying these effects: a "polarimetric Z-scan" and a "polarization modulated Zscan" are described in detail. These techniques were applied to estimate the order of magnitude of the effec...
متن کاملFemtosecond Z-scan measurements of nonlinear refraction in nonlinear optical crystals
We report an investigation of third-order optical nonlinearities in several nonlinear optical crystals using the Z-scan technique with femtosecond laser pulses at 780 nm wavelength. The crystals studied include LiNbO3:MgO, KTiOAsO4, KTiOPO4, b-BaB2O4 and LiB3O5, which are extensively used for ultrashort-pulse second-harmonic generation and optical parametric oscillation. The nonlinear refractiv...
متن کاملMeasurement of The Nonlinear Refractive Index by Z-scan Technique
In this seminar the third-order nonlinear optical phenomena are described. The emphasis is on the nonlinear refractive index n2. We describe the Z-scan technique, which is a simple method to determine n2. At the end we show how Z-scan method can be used to examine protein concentration in human blood.
