The pericarp of Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen) contains a -mangostin (a -MG), which is an essential compound derived from the family of xanthone. This study aimed to determine the nonlinear optical response of the extracted a -MG using Z-scan technique (532 nm, 0.5–1.0 W). A series of characterisa...
