摘要
The second order nonlinear refractive index n (2) of various multicomponent glasses was measured at the wavelength of 1240 nm close to the 1.3-mu m fiber transmission window. With the refractive index covering the range from 1.45 to 2.3, a comparatively broad range of n (2) with values from 1.1x10-2m2/W for boro-silicate based glass NC21 to 4.3x10-19m2/W for lead-bismuth-gallate based glass PBG08 was measured using the Z-scan method. Considering the broad infrared transmission range of multicomponent glasses, these materials pose a great potential for future applications as photonic crystal fiber sources of infrared supercontinuum.
