Femtosecond time-resolved interferometry for the determination of complex nonlinear susceptibility

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We propose and demonstrate sensitive interferometry that permits the separation of the real and imaginary parts of the nonlinear susceptibility with a femtosecond time resolution by a single measurement. A special reference interferometer compensates for any fluctuations of the fringe and provides high sensitivity to detect a fringe shift as small as 0.025 rad (λ/250) by averaging only 100 shots with a low-repetition-rate laser. This method can be applied to materials with optical anisotropy and/or absorption with high sensitivity. We apply the method to two materials, CS2 and CdSxSe1−x microcrystallite-doped glass.
