Abstract
Optical glasses can be fabricated with large refractive nonlinearities and reasonably small two-photon absorption, and thus have become strong candidate materials for optical switching applications. In particular, sulfide glasses and heavy-metal oxide glasses are found to have among the largest nonresonant nonlinearities reported to date.1
