Abstract
High order optical nonlinearities of C-60- and C-70-toluene solutions are studied in the nanosecond time regime, employing the transient deg enerate wave mixing technique. The intensity dependence of the high or der signals of the solutions is investigated. The ratios \chi(eff)((2n +3))\/\chi(eff)((2n+1))\ determined to be of the order of 10(-6) and 1 0(-5) for C-60 and C-70 respectively.
