Abstract
Nonlinear index of refraction of a series of organic solvents, measured by the nonlinear imaging (z-scan) technique, is compared with the same values derived from optical third-harmonic generation (THG). The systematic differences in the values obtained from the z-scan measurements and from THG are attributed to three factors: the value of the standard used in THG measurements, important rotational contribution in z-scan measurements, and the difference in dispersion for
