Revisiting interferences for measuring and optimizing optical nonlinearities

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

A method based on optical interferences for measuring optical nonlinearities is presented. In a proof-of-principle experiment, the technique is applied to the experimental determination of the intensity dependence of the photoionization process. It is shown that it can also be used to control and optimize the nonlinear process itself at constant input energy. The presented strategy leads to enhancements that can reach several orders of magnitude for highly nonlinear processes.
