Optical heterodyning of the phase tuned femtosecond optical Kerr gate signal to determine complex third-order susceptibilities

Abstract

Depending upon the particular use, various detection schemes are plausible for optical Kerr gate (OKG) experiments, The classical arrangement employs homo-dyne detection which involves monitoring of the OKG signal with an analyzer exactly orthogonal to the polarization of the probing beam. Heterodyne detection, on the other hand, generally involves mixing of the observed signal with a given fraction of a local oscillator signal.1
