Abstract

Nonlinear change of the refractive index in a Cr4+:YAG crystal is measured experimentally by the Z-scan technique (CW case) at a wavelength of 1.06 mum. Theoretical analysis of the processes leading to nonlinear photorefraction in Cr4+:YAG allows one to conclude that the main physical mechanisms contributing to the change of the refractive index are the absorption saturation and thermolensing effects.
