Abstract
It has recently been recognized [1] that transparent glasses with large and fast (≤ 1 ps) nonresonant nonlinearites may be a viable alternative to semiconductor and organic materials for certain photo-optic switching applications, including multi-GHz demultiplexing and highly parallel 'pipeline' calculations. We report results of measurements of high-index glasses that exhibit large values of X3.
