Measurements of the third- and fifth-order optical nonlinearities of water at 532 nm and 1064 nm using the D4σ method: erratum

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

This erratum corrects an error in Fig. 4 of Opt. Lett. 39, 5046 (2014).

At the end of the first column on page 5048, Ref. [1], it is written: “Therefore the straight lines drawn in the figure represent the fitting using n2eff=n2+n4I giving n2=(1.0±0.2)×1022m2/W and n4=(1.1±0.3)×1036m4/W2 for λ=1064nm;….”

This procedure cannot be applied in the present case because the relative errors of the n2eff at intensities smaller than 400GW/cm2 were underestimated (see Fig. 4). By analyzing the results in a recent experiment, we found that the first three data points in (blue) triangles (Fig. 4) should be removed because of the poor signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. Only the data for I0>400GW/cm2, acquired with larger S/N ratio, can be considered. In conclusion, at λ=1064nm, the values should be corrected to n2=(0.8±0.2)×1020m2/W and n41.1×1036m4/W2 [2].
