摘要
Variations in the optical properties of pure water induced by a femtosecond laser (wavelength 800 nm, intensity similar to 10(12) W/cm(2)) were studied by a pump-probe interferometric technique. Laser photoionization was shown to increase both the refractive index and absorbance of the water. While the absorption dynamics were found to be in a good agreement with previous studies, the temporal behavior of the refractive index exhibited novel features. It was found that the always-positive refractive index contains distinct peaks at the beginning and end of the laser pulses. This behavior was attributed to the Kerr effect in water molecules and in wet/hydrated electrons produced by photoionization, respectively. (C) 2019 Optical Society of America
