Abstract

Samarium ion doped in rare earth crystals are spectroscopically interesting system since samarium has many atomic transitions in the visible range. Single crystals of samarium doped CdF₂ has been studied for its non linear behavior using the home made z-scan set up. The Z-scan technique is a simple experimental set up which can rapidly measures both nonlinear absorption and Non linear Refraction. This technique is versatile yet is highly sensitive and has gained rapid acceptance by the nonlinear optics community as a standard technique for measuring the non linear susceptibility χ⁽²⁾ or the χ(³⁾ according as the media is a χ⁽²⁾system or the χ⁽³⁾ system.
