Abstract The spatial and temporal development of self-focusing of light pulses is investigated. The beam diameter in CS2 and molten para-di-chlorobenzene decreases with increasing incident laser power to small values in good agreement with theory. The strong influence of beam divergence, non-linearity of refractive index, and absorption on self-focusing action is found to agree well with numerical calculations. It is shown that both backward stimulated Brillouin and Raman scattering terminate the self-focusing process.

Z-scan technique was employed to study the nonlinear optical properties (nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient) for crystal violet doped polystyrene films as a function of doping ratio in chloroform solvent. Samples exhibits in closed aperture Z-scan positive nonlinear refraction (self-focusing). While in the open aperture Z-scan gives reverse saturation absorption (RSA) (positive absorption) for all film with different doping ratio making samples candidates for optical limiting devices for protection of sensors and eyes from energetic laser light pulses under the experimental conditions.
