Abstract

We demonstrate a new single-shot technique for measuring the nonlinear optical characteristics of various transparent materials. The method allows analysis of nonlinear refraction and nonlinear absorption using tilted samples placed at the focal plane of a cylindrical lens. This technique was used in the cases of carbon disulfide and platinum nanoparticle suspension to define their nonlinear optical parameters. We compare this method with the standard Z-scan technique.
