Abstract: | 60 at 1.064 μm is determined by the optical Kerr effect in toluene solution. Values of -6.5×10-33 esu and 2.0×10-32 esu for the real and imaginary parts of γ, respectively, are obtained. Based on the experimental results and symmetry constraint, it is concluded that a three-level model is not adequate to describe the third-order nonlinearity of C60. It is also inferred that the non-resonant γ of C60 should be positive in sign, which is in agreement with reported off-resonant measurements of γ of C60 by third-harmonic generation.
