Abstract
We have measured the nonlinear refractive index n2) in fused silica at 351 nm by a technique substantially different from those used heretofore for quantitative measurements at any wavelength. This technique stems from work by Bliss et al 1 in 1974 and involves the strong transfer of energy among different spatial frequencies In the highly nonlinear regime of self-focusing.
