The nonlinear (NL) optical properties of glassy xBi(2)O(3)-(1-x)GeO2 with x = 0.72 and 0.82 were investigated. The experiments were performed with lasers at 800 nm (pulses of 150 fs) and 532 nm (pulses of 80 ps and 250 ns). Using the Kerr gate technique, we observed that the NL response of the samples at 800 nm is faster than 150 fs. NL refraction indices, vertical bar n(2)vertical bar approximate to 5 x 10(-16) cm(2)/W, and two-photon absorption coefficients, alpha(2), smaller than 0.03 cm/GW, were measured at 800 nm. At 532 nm, we measured the NL transmittance of the samples. From the results obtained, we determined alpha(2) approximate to 1 cm/GW and excited-state absorption cross-sections of approximate to 10(-22) cm(2) due to free-carriers.
