The authors calculate the nondegenerate bound electronic nonlinear refractive index n[sub 2]([omega][sub 1];[omega][sub 2]) (i.e., an index change at frequency [omega][sub 1] due to the presence of a beam at frequency [omega][sub 2]) in semiconductors. They calculate this nonlinearity and its dispersion using a Kramers-Kronig transformation on the calculated nondegenerate nonlinear absorption spectrum due to two-photon absorption, electronic Raman and optical Stark effects. The calculated n[sub 2] values and their dispersion are compared to new experimental values for ZnSe and ZnS obtained using a 2-color Z-scan.
