Z-Scan Measurement Of Third And Fifth Order Nonlinearities In Single Crystal Pts At 1064 Nm

Abstract

Z-scan at 1064 nm was used with single, 35 psec pulses to measure the third and fifth order nonlinear refraction and absorption in single crystal PTS (p-toluene sulfonate). Nonlinear effects higher than third order were found at intensities greater than 0.5 GW/cm2. As a result detailed analysis of the Z-scan data was necessary to deduce n2 and n3 where Δn = n2I + n3I2, and α2 and α3 defined by Δα = α2I + α3I2. At this wavelength both n2 and α2 were positive and n3 and α3 were found to be negative.
