We present a theoretical analysis of Gaussian beam propagation in nonlinear Kerr media by using aberration-free approximation and Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integral and obtain a simple analytic formular for Z-scan characteristics. Z-scan experiments are carried out on amorphous $As_2S_3$ thin film and compared with the theory developed, showing good agreement. The sign and the value of ${\gamma}$ have been measured at 633 nm to be $+8.65{\times}10^{-6}\textrm{cm}^2/W$. We also measured the far-field intensity profiles, which confirm again self-focusing effect.

We report the theory of thin-sample Z -scan for materials, viz. diffusion-dominated photorefractives, having a nonlinearly induced phase that may be proportional to the spatial derivative of the intensity profile. The on-axis far-field intensity is approximately an even function of the scan distance on different positive and negative values for phase shift $\Delta$$\Phi$$_{o}$. In case of positive phase shift, the Z -scan graph shows a minimum and two maxima, while for the negative value, only one minimum is observed. The fact is that far-field beam profiles display beam distortion and shift of the peak as compared with Kerr-type or photovoltaic nonlinearities.s.

The optical nonlinear refractive index of $Bil_3$ semiconductor microcluster colloid has been measured by the Z-scan method with circular symmetric beam. The value of nonlinear refractive index was -1.53 x $10^12($cm^2/W) at $0.532\mum$and the nonlinearities were mainly due to thermal effect induced by 20 ns laser pulse. And the absorption coefficient was measured to be -$10^8$(cm/W)

레이저 빔의 세기 분포를 측정하는 knife edge 방법은 레이저의 발명과 함께 시작 되었다. 사용이 편리한 카메라를 이용한 레이저 빔의 세기 분포 측정 장치에 비해, 진행 방향과 수직한 방향에 대해 대칭성을 가져야만 적용이 가능한 knife edge 방법이 지금까지도 사용되는 이유는 높은 공간 분해능(spatial resolution) 때문이다. Z-scan 방법은 렌즈로 집광시킨 빔의 초점 영역에 샘플을 두고, 샘플을 빔의 진행 방향으로 이동시키면서, 샘플의 두께에 비해 먼 영역에 있는 작은 개구를 통해 측정한 빔의 투과도를 샘플이 없을 때의 투과도로 규격화하여 나타낸 것이다. (중략)

Micro-stereolithography is a newly proposed technology as a means that can fabricate a 3D micro-structure of free form. It makes a 3D micro-structure by dividing the shape into many slices of relevant thickness along horizontal surfaces, hardening each layer of slice with a focused laser beam, and stacking them up to a desired shape. In this technology, differently from the conventional stereolithography, scale effect is dominant. To realize micro-stereolithography technology, we developed the micro-stereolithography apparatus which is composed of an Ar+ laser, x-y-z stages. controllers. optical devices and scan path generation software. Related processes were developed, too. Using the system, a number of micro-structures were successfully fabricated. Some of these samples are shown for prove this system. Laser scan path generation algorithm and software considering photopolymer solidification phenomena as well as given 3D model were developed. Sample fabrication of developed software shows relatively high dimensional accuracy compared to the uncompensated result.
