Studies of the fifth-order nonlinear susceptibility of ultraviolet-grade fused silica.
Femtosecond transient absorption pump-probe spectroscopy has been used to study the third- and fifth-order nonlinear susceptibility of UV-grade fused silica. Theoretical simulations support the experimental evidence of interference between the third- and fifth-order contributions to the signal. Approximate values of the second-order nonlinear refractive index n(4) and of the three-photon absorption coefficient gamma are obtained.
