The measurement of the order and magnitude of nonlinear absorption is an essential step in the development of new materials for many applications in nonlinear optics. This cover depicts a spectrometer for performing z‐scan measurements. The z‐scan is one of the mostly widely used methods for making direct measurements of absorptive nonlinearities.
