Theoretical and experimental approaches to study dispersion of the nonlinear coefficients of refraction and absorption in amorphous semiconductors are overviewed. Nonlinear properties of the chalcogenide glasses over a wide spectral range are studied in various models and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
