Simple direct measurements of n/sub 2/

  • 1. North Texas State Univ., Denton, TX

Description

A simple direct method for measurements of n/sub 2/ is described. The method involves measurements of beam distortions in the transmitted, time-integrated spatial profile using an optical multichannel analyzer. A model is described which allows extraction of n/sub 2/ from fits of experiment to computer generated theoretical spatial profiles. The results for picosecond pulses at 1.06 μm and 0.53 μm are presented for three materials: fused quartz, NaCl, and CS/sub 2/. Little dispersion in n/sub 2/ is seen for each material over the wavelength range studied
