Beam deflection measurement of time and polarization resolved ultrafast nonlinear refraction.

چکیده
We modify the well-known photothermal beam deflection technique to study ultrafast nonlinearities. Using phase-sensitive detection we directly measure the temporal and polarization dynamics of nonlinear refraction (NLR) with sensitivity to optically induced phase changes of approximately λ/20,000. We use the relative polarization dependence of excitation and probe to separate the isotropic and reorientational components of the NLR.

Beam deflection measurement of bound-electronic and rotational nonlinear refraction in molecular gases.
A polarization-resolved beam deflection technique is used to separate the bound-electronic and molecular rotational components of nonlinear refractive transients of molecular gases. Coherent rotational revivals from N(2), O(2), and two isotopologues of carbon disulfide (CS(2)), are identified in gaseous mixtures. Dephasing rates, rotational and centrifugal distortion constants of each species a...
متن کاملNonlinear refraction dynamics of solvents and gases
We present measurements of the temporal and polarization dependence of the nonlinear optical (NLO) response of selected organic solvents using our beam deflection (BD) method. These measurements allow us to separately determine the boundelectronic and nuclear responses which then determines the NLO response function. With this NLO response function the outcome of other experiments such as Z-sca...
