Abstract
Self-diffraction and optical pump-probe techniques have found extensive applications in nonlinear optical spectroscopy.1 Maruani and co-workers2 first exploited the self-diffraction method to study high order optical nonlinearities, χ(2n+1)(n = 1,2, …), associated with biexcitons in CuCI semiconductors, while Chemla et al,3 showed evidence of competition between four- and six-wave mixing in the same material. More recently, Khoo and coworkers4 studied probe beam amplification in silicon and nematic liquids using degenerate optical wave mixing techniques.
