Abstract
We report a measurement of the nonlinear refractive index coefficient, γ, of Carbon Disulfide ( CS 2), taken at a wavelength of 1.053 μm. The measurement uses a new technique based on the generation of high fluence holographic images of obscurations by self-focusing in the CS 2. Near-field beam distortion measurements are used in conjunction with detailed wave propagation analysis. The approach is attractive because it utilizes a sensitive near-field fluence measurement, it is tolerant of intensity modulation in the measurement beam, and it is straightforward to model with the computer. A value of γ = (3.1 ± 0.3)×10-14 cm2/W is obtained.
