Z-scan technique: a review from conventional Z-scan to white light Z-scan

open access: yesApplied Physics B
Nonlinear (NL) absorption and refraction are crucial optical phenomena in the development and application of optical materials. The Z-scan technique, first proposed by Bahae, is widely used to accurately measure the coefficients of NL absorption and ...

Z-scan and eclipsing Z-scan analytical expressions for third-order optical nonlinearities

Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 2020
Analytical expressions for Gaussian-beam Z-scan and eclipsing Z-scan signals are obtained in a unified format in the case of third-order optical nonlinearities. Considering optically thin media in the presence of both nonlinear refraction and nonlinear absorption, the Gaussian decomposition method is applied to express the normalized transmittance ...

Investigation of tetrabenzporphyrin by the Z-scan technique

Optics Letters, 1995
The nonlinear transmission of tetrabenzporphyrin dissolved in tetrahydrofuran was measured with the Z-scan technique at 532 nm with nanosecond pulses. The excited-state absorption cross section, the excited-state refractive-index cross section, and the linear and nonlinear absorption contributing to a thermal index change have been determined.

A general Z-scan theory

CLEO/Europe - EQEC 2009 - European Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics and the European Quantum Electronics Conference, 2009
A novel Z-scan theory based on the solution of the nonlinear paraxial wave equation, completed by the Huygens–Fresnel principle is introduced. This theory is valid for the general case, i.e. for thick samples and large nonlinearities including both nonlinear refraction and absorption.

Single-beam differential z-scan technique

Applied Optics, 2007
We report a single-beam, differential z-scan technique with improved sensitivity for the determination of nonlinear absorption and refraction of materials. A sample is scanned in the direction of beam propagation as usual, but, in addition, its longitudinal position is dithered, producing a detector signal proportional to the spatial derivative of only

Saturation Effects in Z-Scan Measurements

Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 1996
We investigate the behavior of the Z-scan technique in the case where the phase of the electric field departs from a Gaussian due to the saturation of the optical nonlinearity. The usual Gaussian decomposition theoretical approach cannot describe experimental results obtained with well-characterized chromium-doped saturable absorbers: ruby

Focus introduction: Z-scan technique

Optik, 2017
Abstract Since the introduction of the Z-scan, which is widely used to measure the nonlinear optical properties of material. The result of measurement mainly depends on light through the sample after a slight variation in the intensity, and the tiny change depends on the accuracy of the measurement sensitivity of Z-scan technology.

Z-scan studies on porphyrin derivative

Applied Physics B: Lasers and Optics, 1997
The nonlinear optical properties of a porphyrin derivative (T 3,4, BCEMPP) doped in boric acid glass were probed using the Z-scan technique at different argon-ion laser wavelengths. The nonlinear transmission characteristics exhibit saturable absorption at 457.9 nm and 476.5 nm while they are dominated by excited state absorption at 488.0 nm.

Single-Beam Z-Scan: Measurement Techniques and Analysis

Journal of Nonlinear Optical Physics & Materials, 1997
The Z-scan technique is a popular method for measuring degenerate (single frequency) optical nonlinearities using a single laser beam. In order to perform reliable measurements, it is necessary to carefully characterize and control a number of experimental parameters, such as the beam quality, the power and temporal characteristics of the laser, the ...
