Measuring the Nonlinear Refractive Index of Sucrose in TwoConcentrations o f ۰.۱ and ۰.۲ M by Z-scan Technique

In this research, the nonlinear refractive index of two concentrations of water solution has been determinedusing the Z-scan technique. The number of test repetitions for each sample has been ۵ times so that the erroris as low as possible.Sucrose is used as a sweetener in food, and with increasing consumption of this substance, the risk ofdeveloping diabetes-related diseases increases, so we need new methods to measure the level of sucrose innutritions.Experiments have been conducted using a helium-neon laser with a wavelength of ۶۳۳ nm, and it was shownthat the nonlinear refractive index increases with increasing sucrose concentration.
