Title
Beam Deflection Measurement Of Time And Polarization Resolved Ultrafast Nonlinear Refraction
Abstract
We modify the well-known photothermal beam deflection technique to study ultrafast nonlinearities. Using phasesensitive detection we directly measure the temporal and polarization dynamics of nonlinear refraction (NLR) with sensitivity to optically induced phase changes of approximately λ/20; 000. We use the relative polarization dependence of excitation and probe to separate the isotropic and reorientational components of the NLR. © 2013 Optical Society of America.
