摘要
We propose a simple technique based on electric field induced second harmonic (EFISH) generation of femtosecond pulses to measure the third order susceptibility chi ((3)) (2 omega ,0,omega,omega) in glasses. First we present the principle of the method, then we validate our experimental set-up and develop unexpected aspects of EFISH technique. Finally, we give a numerical value of the third order susceptibility in various glasses and discuss these results. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
