Abstract

By using tunable dye lasers, the third-order optical nonlinear susceptibility

χ^{(3)} (- ω_{3}, ω_{1}, ω_{1} - ω_{2})

is studied in LiNb

O_{3}

χ^{(3)}

shows resonant enhancement when

ω_{1} - ω_{2}

is near the polariton frequencies. This behavior is explained in terms of a nonlinear force which drives the polariton modes strongly whenever momentum matching is satisfied.
