Abstract

We measure the nonlinear refractive index of SF<subscript>6</subscript> at three different CO<subscript>2</subscript> laser lines. Higher terms than the cubic nonlinearity are found and the behavior of the refractive index as a function of the laser intensity depends strongly on the frequency used, reflecting the characteristic SF<subscript>6</subscript> absorption dynamics.
