摘要
We report a simple extension of the Z-scan technique where pulse trains characteristic of a Q-switched and mode-locked Nd: YAG laser are employed to investigate the dynamics of third-order optical nonlinearities. The method allows discriminating between fast and accumulative nonlinearities, and was applied to the investigation of liquid samples, namely chloroform, benzene, and a solution of Disperse Red 1 dye.
