Our approach is based on using a near-infrared probe beam which interacts with a mid-IR beam via wavelength-non-degenerate cross-phase modulation (XPM). By carefully measuring XPM-induced spectral modifications in the probe beam and comparing the experimental data with simulation results, we extract the value for the non-degenerate Kerr index. Finally, in order to obtain the value of degenerate mid-IR Kerr index, we use the well-established two-band formalism of Sheik-Bahae et al., which is shown to become particularly simple in the limit of low frequencies. The proposed technique is complementary to the conventional techniques, such as z-scan, and has the advantage of not requiring any mid-infrared detectors."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"day":"28","author":[{"full_name":"Lorenc, Dusan","id":"40D8A3E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Dusan","last_name":"Lorenc"},{"first_name":"Zhanybek","last_name":"Alpichshev","orcid":"0000-0002-7183-5203","full_name":"Alpichshev, Zhanybek","id":"45E67A2A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"ddc":["530"],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0003-6951"]},"article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","citation":{"ista":"Lorenc D, Alpichshev Z. 2023.
