Broadband hyperspectral z-scan using a supercontinuum light source is a convenient technique to obtain spectrally resolved nonlinear optical properties of the materials under investigation. Post-processing and segregation of the data obtained from the supercontinuum based hyperspectral z-scan measurement aids in determining the nonlinear optical properties with high spectral resolution. However, few data models exist to store and represent the large amount of information acquired from the hyperspectral z-scan measurement. In this paper, a 3D data model for representing the data obtained from broadband z-scan measurements and analysis is presented. This method would help in the quick characterization of spectrally resolved nonlinear optical properties of materials from a single z-scan measurement. The proposed model is used for obtaining the spectrally resolved nonlinear optical properties of rhodamine 6G.
