摘要：

Several nonlinear glass parameters such as second-order refractive index, n(2), third-order susceptibility lambda((3)), the imaginary part of lambda((3)) and two-photon absorption coefficient are calculated for five different oxide glass systems. The glasses exhibit considerable optical non-linearities. It has been found that the decrease in band gap energy and Fermi energy increases the glass nonlinear optical properties. Glasses contain either chromium oxide, magnesium or barium oxide exhibit considerable nonlinearity comparing with titanium-containing glasses. The origin of this nonlinearity and the ability to tune it has been discussed based on the glass linear refractive indices, non-bridging oxygen bonds, hyperpolarizability of modifier cations and on the rule of these cations oil the creation of nonbridging oxygen bonds.
