Four-wave mixing in an artificial Kerr medium

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Degenerate four-wave mixing experiments have been performed using a liquid suspension of 0.234-μm-diameter latex spheres as the nonlinear medium. The measured effective optical Kerr coefficient, n2, is 3.6 × 10−3 (MW/cm2)−1. This is ~105× the value for CS2. Measured grating reflectivity, formation, and decay times are in reasonable agreement with a simple model assuming Rayleigh scattering and Brownian diffusion.
