Measurement of high order Kerr refractive index of major air components.
We measure the instantaneous electronic nonlinear refractive index of N(2), O(2) and Ar at room temperature for a 90 fs and 800 nm laser pulse. Measurements are calibrated by post-pulse molecular alignment through a polarization technique. At low intensity, quadratic coefficients n(2) are determined. At higher intensities, a strong negative contribution with a higher nonlinearity appears, which...
متن کاملGiant Kerr nonlinearities using refractive-index enhancement
Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in techniques that achieve significant nonlinear interactions at the single-photon level [1]. These schemes are exciting and important because of both practical and fundamental reasons. Key practical applications include all-optical switches that can operate at an energy cost of a single photon [2] and twoqubit quantum gates between two si...
متن کاملSuppression of Air Refractive Index Variations in High-Resolution Interferometry
The influence of the refractive index of air has proven to be a major problem on the road to improvement of the uncertainty in interferometric displacement measurements. We propose an approach with two counter-measuring interferometers acting as a combination of tracking refractometer and a displacement interferometer referencing the wavelength of the laser source to a mechanical standard made ...
متن کاملHigh-precision diode-laser-based temperature measurement for air refractive index compensation.
We present a laser-based system to measure the refractive index of air over a long path length. In optical distance measurements, it is essential to know the refractive index of air with high accuracy. Commonly, the refractive index of air is calculated from the properties of the ambient air using either Ciddor or Edlén equations, where the dominant uncertainty component is in most cases the ai...
متن کاملMeasurement of refractive index of PF-5060
For optical studies of boiling heat transfer process, it is essential that the refractive index and its dependence on temperature for the test liquid be known. In this work a simple set-up was built to measure the refractive index of Fluorinert Liquid PF-5060 with temperature compensation and temperature control. The pinhole laser light beam was used for determining the refraction angle. The re...
