Experimental Estimate of the Nonlinear Refractive Index of Crystalline ZnSe in the Terahertz Spectral Range

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A modification of the Z-scan technique for measuring nonlinear refractive index n2 in the terahertz spectral region is proposed. Measurements are made at a broadband terahertz radiation intensity of 0.8 × 109 W cm−2. Coefficient n2 = 2.5 × 10−11 cm2 W−1 is estimated for semiconductor crystalline ZnSe.
