| Abstract: | Optical switching of picosecond pulses in CS2 has been observed to occur at the second critical power for self-focusing. This has been confirmed in an independent direct measurement of the nonlinear refractive index at 1.06 μm and 0.53 μm. The measurement technique involves observations of far field spatial distortions of gaussian beams after passing through a nonlinear material. |
