Abstract
We did this work to help professors and students of physics and engineering in Optics and Lasers courses who require a theoretical-experimental introductory framework to nonlinear optics. We showed in this article the basic principles of the theory, focusing on third-order nonlinear optical phenomena, using the well-known Z-scan technique for its demonstration. For this, we propose the design of a simple experiment that the interested party can do in an optics laboratory. Once the data has been obtained and processed, we implemented a practical method of interpretation of the typical graphs obtained by this technique to carry out the calculations that allow the measurement of the refractive index and the nonlinear absorption coefficient in materials that present these optical properties, as the case exemplified here of nematic liquid crystals doped with an organic dye.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
