Abstract

The value of third order nonlinear optical susceptibility (chi^<3>) of ternary and quaternary ZnSe-based mixed crystals was extracted from the standard backward degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) measurement at 532 nm. The studied crystals were grown by the modified high-pressure Bridgman method. We found that the value of third order nonlinear optical susceptibility (chi^<3>) for Zn_0.79Be_0.21Se is higher than that for Zn_0.80Mg_0.20Se. We also found that the value of chi^<3> for Zn_0.83Be_0.04Mg_0.13Se is located between the values obtained for Zn_0.79Be_0.21Se and Zn_0.80Mg_0.20Se.
