      TypePrincipleMeasurement parametersAdvantagesDisadvantages
      Z-scanBeam-distortionβn2Simple optical setup; distinguish the sign of the nonlinear refractive indexEffects of sample movement; difficulties in beam alignment
      f-scanBeam-distortionβn2Fixed position of sampleEmploy an electrically focus-tunable lens; aligning the beam center is complicated; focal length variation is constricted
      PM f-scanBeam-distortionβn2Simple optical setup; fixed position of sample; flexible control of beams based on SLMExistence of secondary foci; restricted diffraction efficiency
