Enhancement Of Optical Nonlinearity Of Heavy-Metal Oxide Glasses By Replacing Lead And Bismuth With Thallium

The results of degenerate four-wave mixing experiments at a wavelength of 1.06um on a number of heavy-metal gallate glasses are reported. The replacement of lead and/or bismuth by thallium leads to an enhancement of the optical nonlinearlity, resulting in the largest nonresonant electronic nonlinearity yet reported for an oxide glass.
