The Sellmeier coefficients for the linear refractive index of amorphous alumina (a-Al2O3) are deduced from measurements on binary aluminosilicate glass optical fibers. This data is then used to approximate the nonlinear refractive index, n(2), for a-Al2O3, which was found to be 1.89x10(-13)esu (4.77x10(-20)m(2)/W at a wavelength of 958nm) and found to increase slightly sublinearly with increasing alumina concentration in silica glass. Several commonalities with some amorphous alumina thin films are suggested. In addition, a proposal for the extension of a simple additive materials model for the calculation of n(2) as a function of composition is presented. Alumina is an important dopant into silica for high energy optical fiber-based lasers and so the determination and modeling of its optical properties is of significant technological value.
