High-intensity pulse propagation in semiconductors: on-resonant self-induced transmission and effects in the continuum

Harald W. Giessen, Stefan Lindén, Juergen Kuhl +5 more

We perform high-intensity pulse propagation experiments in semiconductors. On a free exciton resonance, we demonstrate coherent Self-Induced Transmission. Tuning the laser towards higher energy, thus exciting continuum states, the degree of transmission is reduced. The pulse breakup vanishes. Increasing the pulse intensity by several orders of magnitude, pulse breakup can be observed again.

Self-Induced Transmission on a Free Exciton Resonance in a Semiconductor

Harald W. Giessen, A. Knorr, S. Haas +6 more

We observe coherent long-distance propagation of an optical pulse in resonance with the free exciton at high light intensities in an optically thick semiconductor. The experiments show pulse reshaping, pulse breakup, and a high degree of transmission. Microscopic calculations using the semiconductor Maxwell-Bloch equations yield good agreement with the experimental data.

Phase Evolution of Solitonlike Optical Pulses during Excitonic Rabi Flopping in a Semiconductor

Nils C. Nielsen, Tilman Höner zu Siederdissen, J. Kühl +4 more

We demonstrate that the temporal pulse phase remains essentially unaltered before separate phase characteristics are developed when propagating high-intensity pulses coherently on the exciton resonance of an optically thick semiconductor. This behavior is a clear manifestation of self-induced transmission and pulse breakup into soliton-like pulses due to Rabi flopping of the carrier density. Experiments using a novel fast-scan cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating (XFROG) method are in good agreement with numerical calculations based on the semiconductor Bloch equations.
