title: Single shot interferometric method for measuring the nonlinear refractive index.
abstract: In this paper we are introducing a new single shot method for measuring the nonlinear refractive index of materials in a simple interferometric pump-probe configuration. The theoretical model proposed for extracting the nonlinear refractive index from the experimental fringe pattern and the experimental configuration are presented and discussed. The results obtained by this method are in good agreement with that obtained on the same sample using the conventional Z-scan method.
