Nonlinear refraction in CS2 at 10.6 μm

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The nonlinear refractive index n2 of CS2 at 10.6 μm, the value of which is a subject of a recent controversy, is measured by an external self-focusing method. We found that n2 = (2.1 ± 0.7) × 10−11 esu, similar to the accepted value of n2 in the visible. Self-bending of spatially asymmetric CO2 laser beam in CS2 due to an ultrafast Kerr effect is observed, and the deduced value of n2 is in agreement with our results.
