Nonlinear optical response of three alkali-silicate glasses by irradiation of a focused 200 femtosecond pulsed laser were investigated using transmittance measurement at 800 nm. The studied glasses are Na2O–CaO–SiO2, K2O–CaO–SiO2and Cs2O–CaO–SiO2. The nonlinear transmissions are observed for incident pulse energies of above 35 μJ for Cs2O–CaO–SiO2sample, 60 μJ for Na2O–CaO–SiO2sample and 70 μJ for K2O–CaO–SiO2sample. Femtosecond nonlinear transmittance measurements were used to model the nonlinear behavior of the tested alkali-silicate glasses. The three-photon absorption along with three-photon generated free-carriers within the glasses is main mechanism for the observed nonlinear response. The values of three-photon absorption coefficient and photo-generated free-carrier cross-section are reported for the tested alkali-silicate glasses.
