Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce a new combination of the eclipse Z-scan with the recently introduced thermally managed Z-scan, that gains in sensitivity associated with the simultaneous measurement of the thermal and nonthermal contributions to the nonlinear (NL) refractive properties of photonic materials using relatively low laser intensities.
