Determination of the nonlinear refractive index by spectral analysis after nonlinear propagation

Abstract

Nonlinear refraction causes phase perturbations when a light field propagates through a material, leading to such effects as self-phase modulation and self-focusing, which may degrade the pulse temporal and spatial properties.1 A determination of the value of the nonlinear refractive index n2 of optical materials is mandatory to avoid laser-induced damage and beam break-up in the generation and application of intense femtosecond pulses.
