    Abstract

    Z-scan measurements at 1600 nm on single-crystal PTS (p-toluene sulfonate) with single, 65 ps pulses gave a complex nonlinear refractive index coefficient of n2 = 2.2(+/-0.3) x 10(-12)cm2/W at 1 GW/cm2 and alpha2 < 0.5cm/GW. This is the first highly nonlinear, organic material to satisfy the conditions imposed by the figures of merit.
