Eclipsing Z-scan measurement of A/104 wave-front distortion
We introduce a simple modification to the Z-scan technique that results in a sensitivity enhancement that permits measurement of nonlinearly induced wave-front distortion -of A/10 . This sensitivity was achieved with 10-Hz repetition-rate pulsed laser sources. Sensitivity to nonlinear absorption is also enhanced by a factor of -3. This method permits characterization of nonlinear thin films wit...
متن کاملZ-scan Measurement of Upconversion in Er:YAG
Cooperative, or energy-transfer, upconversion reduces the population of the I13/2 manifold in Er:YAG, increasing the laser threshold, but not, in theory, the slope efficiency [1]. We have measured the cooperative upconversion parameter in Er:YAG using the z-scan technique as a function of Er concentration (0.5% to 5%) with the sample at room temperature (298 K) and 80 K. The value we obtain at ...
متن کاملMeasurement of pure Kerr nonlinearity in GaN thin films at 800 nm by means of eclipsing Z-scan experiments
We report the measurement of Kerr nonlinearity of thin films of GaN by using the eclipsing Z-scan technique. The measurement was performed using 100 fs pulses at 800 nm. We measured a pure refractive signal, whose associated nonlinear Kerr coefficient was n2 = (−7.3 ± 0.4)× 10−14 cm2 W−1.
متن کاملMeasurement of nondegenerate nonlinearities using a two-color Z scan.
A simple dual-wavelength (two-color) Z-scan geometry is demonstrated for measuring nonlinearities at frequency omega(p) owing to the presence of light at omega(e). This technique gives the nondegenerate two-photon absorption (2PA) coefficient beta(omega(p); omega(e)) and the nondegenerate nonlinear refractive index n(2)(omega(p); omega(e)), i.e., cross-phase modulation. We demonstrate this tech...
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.
