P. Vidakovic et al., LARGE NONLINEAR PHASE-SHIFT OWING TO CASCADED CHI((2)) IN QUASI-PHASE-MATCHED BULK LINBO3, Optics letters, 22(5), 1997, pp. 277-279
Large nonresonant effective nonlinear indices that are due to cascadin
g have been observed by Z-scan and CCD camera measurements performed o
n quasi-phase-matched LiNbO3. Positive and negative values of n(2)(cas
cad) were measured at temperatures symmetrically displayed with respec
t to the optimum phase-matching temperatures (2.39 x 10(-13) and -2.37
x 10(-13) cm(2)/W, respectively). (C) 1997 Optical Society of America
