Abstract

We describe an experimental technique that allows the simultaneous measurement of the nonlinear refractive index n⁽²⁾ and the nonlinear absorption coefficient α⁽²⁾ in waveguides. With minor modifications in the experimental setup, the four-wave mixing gain coefficient can also be measured. Measurements are demonstrated in AlGaAs waveguides.
