摘要
Nonlinear optical measurements in strip-loaded channel waveguides of poly(4-BCMU) at 1.319 mu-m are reported. Using a pulse-modulated interferometry method, the intensity-dependent refractive index is found to have an electronic contribution, n2 = (4.8 +/- 2.7) X 10(-8) cm2/MW, and an estimated thermal contribution, n2 = -(7.9 +/- 4.5) X 10(-11) cm2/MW, for 60 pS laser pulses at 76 MHz. The two-photon absorption coefficient-beta is less than 0.25 cm/GW. Figures-of-merit suggest that poly(4-BCMU) has properties desirable for all-optical devices, but that fabrication losses and thermal effects due to absorption will limit device performance.
