Abstract

The optical bistability phenomenon in the steady-state light transmission by a thin semiconductor film is studied taking into account two-pulse two-photon excitation of biexcitons from the ground state of the crystal. It is shown that the transmission of one of the two pulses by the film is determined by the intensity of the second pulse. The criteria of existence of an optical bistability are established. 1.

A theoretical investigation is reported of steady-state nonlinear transmission of resonant laser radiation by a thin semiconductor film under the conditions of two-pulse generation of excitons and biexcitons. The equations of state are derived for the description of bistable behavior of the amplitudes of the transmitted pulses and of the quasiparticle concentration, depending on the parameters of the exciting fields. The criteria of existence of an optical bistability are determined.

Specific features of the nonstationary transmission of two pulses exciting biexcitons from the ground state in a thin semiconductor film are studied. It is shown that one of the incident rectangular pulses is totally reflected from the film, whereas the second pulse passes through it as through an absolutely transparent medium. Criteria for appearance of a stationary bistable transmission are determined.

Interaction of light with a semiconductor thin film, taking into account concentration gain of the dipole moment of the excitonic transition

I. Khadzhi, L. V. Fedorov

The peculiarities of nonlinear transmission of ultrashort pulses of resonance laser radiation by a semiconductor thin film in the excitonic spectral region have been studied, taking into account the exciton-phonon interaction and concentration gain of the dipole moment of the excitonic transition. It has been shown that under exact resonance conditions the film transmits only the leading edge of the incident rectangular pulse and completely reflects the remaining part. For a nonzero off-resonance, a residual transmission occurs. A series of possibilities for transforming Gaussian pulses is predicted. The state equations for steady-state bistable transmission (reflection) have been derived, and the stability of the solutions has been studied. A theorem of areas, which predicts area restriction of the transmitted pulses, has been stated; namely, the transmitted pulse area cannot exceed π/2.
