Ray matrix for Gaussian beam propagation in a nonlinear medium: experimental results. 1995

S Nemoto

The validity of a ray-matrix formulation of Gaussian beam propagation in a liquid nonlinear medium exhibiting self-defocusing is examined experimentally. By comparing the measured spot size of a Gaussian laser beam passing through the medium with the calculated spot size, it was found that the theory is consistent with the experimental results as long as the waist position of the input beam is not close to the exit surface of the medium.
