Resumo

We exploit recombination luminescence of self-trapped excitons for the measurement of the four-photon absorption cross section in KBr at 532 nm. The value is found to be ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}^{(4)}$=(2\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}112}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{8}$ ${\mathrm{sec}}^{3}$. The validity of this method is verified by comparison with a four-photon absorption model describing the interaction process.
