  • Abstract
    An original frequency-mixing technique is described which conveniently measures the third-order optical susceptibility of any transparent material. Results are presented for χ1111(3)(-ω3, ω1, ω1, -ω2) in a number of materials. These measurements permit estimates of the nonlinear index n2.
