Abstract

We examined the optical nonlinear properties of ZnO-Nb2O 5-TeO2. The absorption and Raman spectra were measured, the third-order nonlinear susceptibility was determined by degenerated four wave mixing technique. The magnitude of χ(3) is about 1.0×10-12 esu, larger than that of silica glasses, and the optical bistability was observed in a Fabry-Perot cavity.
