Abstract

The technique of external self-focusing, where beam divergence is reduced by passing through a sample, is used to measure nonlinear refractive indices.¹ The reduction of beam divergence is determined by comparing the beam diameters of two pulses at a certain distance behind the sample, where one pulse passes through the sample and the other pulse is bypassed.
