Spectral measurement of the nonlinear refractive index in ZnSe using self-bending of a pulsed laser beam.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The nonlinear refractive-index (n(2)) spectrum of ZnSe near the band gap (lambda(gap) approximately 450 nm) at 77 K was measured for the first time to our knowledge by using self-bending of a pulsed laser beam. The maximum nonlinearity, n(2) approximately 1.9 x 10(-8) cm(2)/W, measured by us is anomalously large, which cannot be explained by conventional thermally induced band-gap shrinkage.

There are several techniques in use for non-linear refractive index measurement, namely, interferometric techniques, in which conventional inter-ferometers are used, degenerate for wave mixing (DFWM), and z-scan, Each of these techniques suffers from some shortcmings. For example conventional interferometers like Fabry-Perot and Twyman-Green need high quality optical components, unwanted refl...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Nonlinear Refractive Index of LiNb03 by Z-scan Technique
Nonlinear refractive index, n of an undoped z-cut photorefractive LiNbO3 crystal has been investigated here by the Z-scan technique using a continuous wave (cw) laser beam from a multiline argon-ion laser. Here both the sign and magnitude of the measured n are considerably different from the reported z-scan result in LiNbO3 obtained with picoseconds pulsed laser at 532 nm but in good agreement ...

Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...

In radiation calorimetry by using laser beams and interferometry setups, variations induced by dose absorption in phantom can be precisely measured. Dose absorption and the induced temperature change result in refractive index variation of the material. In order to be able to measure the low amount of absorbed dose in the phantom, temperature dependence of refractive index of the material must ...
