Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 光電工程學研究所 === 86 === In this dissertation, we report a time-resolved phase-sensitivity techniqu e to measure nonlinear refractive index (n2) and two-photon absorption coeffic ient using chirped femtosecond laser pulses. This technique is based on the in duced phase variation and the energy loss in the probe beam caused by the pump beam. The linear chirp b is incorporated into the derivation of a more genera lized model than the previous one [I. Kang, et al., Opt. Lett. 22, 1077 (1997) ]. This transient nonlinear transmittance spectroscopy has been applied to fus ed silica and semiconductor-doped glasses to extract their n2 and b. The deduc ed chirp parameter b is closely matched with the frequency-resolved optical ga ting (FROG) result. We have also analyzed the validity of this linear chirp mo del through the comparison with the numerically accurate calculation that cons iders the higher-order chirps.
