摘要：
The nonlinear refractive index n(2) of Yb3+:KY(WO4)(2) crystal has been measured using picosecond Z-scan technique. The magnitude of n(2) was found to be 8.7 x 10(-16) cm(2)/W at wavelength of 1.08 mu m. The numerical modeling based on fluctuation model showed a great potential of this crystal as active medium for Kerr-lens mode-locking.
