Abstract :
We perform third order nonlinear optical characterizations using I-scan or Z-scan techniques inside a 4-f system. Simulation is performed based on Helmholtz equation to provide simple expressions relating the signal to the phase shift (in different wave-mixing configurations). Optimization of the measurement is performed.
