Absolute Scale of Quadratic Nonlinear-Optical Susceptibilities

  • Chapter

  • 624 Accesses

Part of the book series: Springer Series in OPTICAL SCIENCES ((SSOS,volume 74))

Summary

An updated absolute scale of the quadratic nonlinear-optical susceptibilities is proposed. It is based on our recent redetermination for several important nonlinear-optical materials and the earlier reliable values. The problems that were unresolved or overlooked in earlier measurements are pointed out, and the guidelines for obtaining accurate values of the nonlinear-optical susceptibilities are presented through the detailed description of the measurement procedure applied in our determination.
