ABSTRACT: Nonlinear
properties of two different crude oils from west-south Iran reservoirs have
been investigated using the single beam Z-scan technique. The nonlinear
refractive indices of the samples were measured by use of diode laser in the CW
regime and at the wavelength 660 nm. The experiment results showed that the
samples have large and negative refractive index nonlinear refraction
coefficient. These results showed that the crude oil has significant nonlinear
properties and it could be a candidate for photonic and nonlinear optical
devices and also this information can be used in petroleum science and
oceanology and etc.
