摘要
The third-order nonlinearity of a glass-ceramic containing sodium niobate (NaNbO3) nanocrystals was studied using the Z-scan technique. The measurements were performed at 532 nm with 70-ps pulses at 5 Hz. Two-photon absorption coefficients and light-induced refractive index changes were determined. The results show dependence of the nonlinear parameters on the volume fraction of NaNbO3 crystallites. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
