Abstrakt: A composite waveform consisting of the sum of a low-frequency pump sinusoid and a higher frequency probe results in phase modulation of the probe by the pump in nonlinear media. The phase deviation in the probe at the pump frequency can be measured directly or inferred from measurement of the magnitude of the resulting sum or difference sidebands. The phase deviation (or sideband magnitude) increases linearly with pump pressure and with the slope as a function of the nonlinearity of the medium, thus providing a means for determination of B/A.
