Abstract
A Z-scan expression is derived for materials with a saturable Kerr index no nlinearity. An approximate solution is obtained for the normalized transmit tance. Numerical calculations are given using this formula at near saturati on light intensity. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
