Criterion for exciton lasing in pure crystals

K. C. Liu, Richard L. Liboff

Published Oct 1, 1983• 11 citations

Abstract

A scheme for lasing action involving excitons in a pure crystal is described. The lasing mechanism depends on the nonboson quality of excitons. We find this property to be exhibited at high exciton density. A criterion for lasing under these conditions is obtained.

Theory of optical bistability in the region of exciton resonances

Bohdan M. Nitsovich, C. Y. Zenkova

An exciton-phonon mechanism for producing cavityless optical bistability is suggested. We consider the influence of the oscillating subsystem of a crystal on the absorption process of a laser wave in the region of exciton frequencies. It is shown that exciton-phonon interaction leads to nonlinear dependence of the absorption coefficient on the density of the exciton gas. The increase of absorption with increasing exciton density, however, is possible only in the frequency region on the long-wavelength tail of the exiton band. As a result, the exciton density of the crystal becomes a hysteresis function of external parameters (intensity of the incident wave, temperature, etc.). We calculate the absorption coefficient of excitons and define the frequency and temperature regions where optical bistability may exist. We analyze different relaxation mechanisms of excitons and explain the experimental results of observing optical bistability in different semiconductor crystals.

Nonlinear Excitation of Pure and Doped Rare Gas Crystals

Abstract The power dependence up to the destruction limit and the coefficient of two photon absorption in Xe and Kr crystals are derived from transmission and luminescence experiments. A temperature dependent reduction of the quantum efficiency for luminescence at high power densities due to exciton—exciton annihilation is observed.

On the theory of coherent pairing of excitons in molecular crystals

Constantine Mavroyannis

The theory of the coherent pairing of excitons in the presence of a resonant electromagnetic field is generalized to describe the biexciton spectra of molecular crystals, which contain several molecules (atoms) in the unit cell. The excitation spectrum for crystals like anthracene having two molecules per unit cell is discussed in detail. It is found that, at high exciton densities and under resonance of near-resonance conditions and at temperatures below some value T c , the formation of four biexciton states is feasible provided that the dielectric gaps induced by the electromagnetic field are less than those of the corresponding biexciton states. Expressions for the absorption coefficient describing optical transitions to the biexciton states are derived.

NONBOSON TREATMENT OF EXCITONIC NONLINEARITY IN OPTICALLY EXCITED MEDIA

Nguyen Ba An

The present article shortly reviews some recent results in the study of excitonic nonlinearity in optically excited media using a nonboson treatment for many-exciton systems. After a brief discussion of the exciton nonbosonity the closed commutation relations are given for exciton operators which hold for any exciton density and type. The nonboson treatment is then applied to the problems of intrinsic optical bistability and nonlinear polariton yielding quite interesting and new effects, e.g. new shapes of hysteresis loops of intrinsic optical bistability or anomalies of polariton dispersion.
