Self-reflection effect in semiconductors in a two-pulse regime

Abstract

Peculiarities of reflection at the end face of a semi-infinite semiconductor in a two-pulse regime are studied. The reflection functions behave in a complex and ambiguous manner governed by the amplitudes of the fields of incident pulses. The possibility of a complete bleaching of the medium for the field in the M-band is predicted.

The features of light reflection from the interface of a semi-infinite semiconductor are studied upon two-pulse, two-photon excitation of biexcitons from the crystal ground state. It is shown that the reflectivity is a complex multistable function of the amplitudes of the fields of incident pulses. The appearence of solitary closed domains or horn-shaped structures is predicted.

New nonlinear optical effect: self-reflection phenomenon due to exciton-biexciton-light interaction in semiconductors

P. I. Khadzhi, K. D. Lyakhomskaya, L. Yu. Nad’kin +1 more

The characteristic peculiarities of the self-reflection of a strong electromagnetic wave in a system of coherent excitons and biexcitons due to the exciton-photon interaction and optical exciton-biexciton conversion in semiconductors were investigated as one of the manifestations of nonlinear optical Stark-effect. It was found that a monotonously decreasing standing wave with an exponential decreasing spatial tail is formed in the semiconductor. Under the action of the field of a strong pulse, an optically homogeneous medium is converted, into the medium with distributed feedback. The appearance of the spatially separated narrow pears of the reflective index, extinction and reflection coefficients is predicted.

Self-reflection in a system of excitons and biexcitons in semiconductors

P. I. Khadzhi, K. D. Lyakhomskaya

The characteristic features of the self-reflection of a powerful electromagnetic wave in a system of coherent excitons and biexcitons in semiconductors were investigated as one of the manifestations of the nonlinear optical skin effect. It was found that a monotonically decreasing standing wave with an exponentially falling spatial tail is formed in the surface region of a semiconductor. Under the influence of the field of a powerful pulse, an optically homogeneous medium is converted into one with distributed feedback. The appearance of spatially separated narrow peaks of the refractive index, extinction coefficient, and reflection coefficient is predicted.

Self-reflection in a naive model of nonlinear media

K. D. Lyakhomskaya, P. I. Khadzhi

The optical self-reflection in a naive model of a semi-infinite nonlinear medium is studied theoretically. It is demonstrated that a Fabry-Perot resonator is induced by a propagating wave in the medium if the incident intensity exceeds a critical value. Hysteresis dependences of the reflectivity and the resonator length on the incident intensity are predicted.

Coherent effects in the propagation of ultrashort light pulses in resonant media. Part II (Review)

I A Poluéktov, Yurii M Popov, V S Roĭtberg

This part of the review deals with coherent effects in the interaction of ultrashort light pulses with media characterized by degenerate transitions, including semiconducting media (in the direct band-band transition region), and with media exhibiting two-photon resonances. It is shown that the self-induced transparency can appear under such conditions and the properties of this effect are studied. A review is made of experimental investigations of the coherent bleaching of various media. The paper ends with a list of the most urgent problems requiring clarification.
