Abstract :
Self-focusing of 9-kW CO2laser pulses was observed in liquid CS2. The calculated coefficient of nonlinear index of refraction (n2) from experimental data is approximately 10-17MKS, which is nearly three orders of magnitude larger than the nonlinear index coefficient observed for visible radiation.
