The dependence of nonlinear absorption at 532 nm of n-type ZnSe crystals upon annealing temperature and free carrier concentration is reported. The nonlinear optical absorption as well as the efficiency of degenerate four wave mixing of ZnSe are investigated. It is found that the magnitude of the nonlinear absorption decreases with an increase in the electron concentration. The nonlinear refractive index change is estimated.
