Abstract

We investigated the ultrafast optical Kerr effect of tellurite glass (Te glass) by the femtosecond time-resolved pumpprobe technique. The Kerr-gated spectra from a chirped supercontinuum (SC) obtained by a Te glass optical Kerr gate (OKG) were of a narrow bandwidth and wide range of transmittance spectra. Time-resolved violet fluorescence of a ZnO thin film with high temporal resolution was measured using the Te glass OKG. Experimental results showed that Te glass was a good candidate for an OKG medium due to its ultrafast response, large transmittance window, and large nonlinear refractive index.
