Abstract
A time-resolved anisotropic configuration exploiting the Z-scan techni que in a one color pump-and-probe arrangement was implemented to measu re the time response and the value of the nondiagonal component of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility of a chloroform solution of poly (3-hexadecylthiophene). In addition, an all-optical Kerr gate with pi cosecond response using the polymeric solution was implemented. (C) 19 96 American Institute of Physics.
