Abstract
Cadmium iodide has been studied from the point of view of nonlinear processes by experiments of optical amplification under two photon excitation. The two photon absorption (2PA) coefficient is determined by nonlinear transmittance technique. By means of two and three photon comparative luminescence measurements carried out using a ruby and neodymium laser, the three photon absorption (3PA) coefficient is determined. The experimental values of the absorption coefficients are compared with the predictions of the existing theories.
