Abstract

The closed aperture continuous wave Z-scan of L-tryptophan at 661 nm was performed to investigate the variation of on-axis nonlinear phase shift $({\Delta {\Phi _0}})$ with the change of optical field strength. $\Delta {\Phi _0}$ was found to vary nonlinearly with irradiance (${I_0})$ in the range from 150 to ${{290}}\;{\rm{\;{\rm MW}/}}{{\rm{m}}^2}$. This nonlinear variation is explained by considering the effect of linear and nonlinear absorption of radiation on the thermo-optical refractive index. Using the quadratic fitting of $\Delta {\Phi _0}$ with ${I_0}$, we have found the thermo-optic coefficient of refractive index $dn/dT$, thermal coefficient of nonlinear refractive index $n_2^T$, and the nonlinear absorption coefficient $\beta$ in the observed power regime.
