The effect of the repetition rate of femtosecond laser pulses on the two-photon absorption and nonlinear refraction of pure organic liquids is presented using the conventional Z-scan technique. Such a study provides a way to determine the nature of light-matter interaction, explicitly enabling the identification of the linear versus nonlinear regimes. Based on the type of light-matter interaction, we have identified the thermal load dissipation time for the organic liquids. Our experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretically calculated decay time for the dissipation of thermal load. Subjects Spectroscopy, Physical Chemistry (other)
