Popis: The third-order nonlinear optical properties of an inorganic compound (NH 2 CSCSNH 2 ) were studied by means of single beam transmission techniques, using a continuous-wave (CW) He–Ne laser beam with a wavelength of 632.8 nm a laser power of input 6.6 mW. The magnitude and sign of the third-order nonlinear refractive index ( n 2 ) of a saturated solution of this material in water were determined by use of both the closed-aperture z-scan and the Moire deflectometry techniques. The negative sign obtained indicated that there is a self-defocusing effect in the sample. The nonlinear refractive index n 2 and the change in the refractive index (Δ n ) were in the order of 10 −7 cm 2 W −1 and 10 −5 , respectively, both having a negative sign. The nonlinear absorption coefficient β was calculated by the use of the open-aperture z-scan technique to be −1.8 × 10 −3 cm W −1 .
