Strong Light-Semiconductor Interactions in CdS, GaSe and Optical Bistability
В.С. Днепровский, A. I. Furtichev, V. Klimov +4 more
Changes in absorption and refractive index caused by the absorption of laser light in CdS and GaSe ("dynamic” nonlinearities which may lead to optical bistability /OB/) were investigated. Nonlinear effects may be very strong ("giant" nonlinearities) due to the resonant enhancement near the sharp band edge in the case of resonant excitation of excitons or interband transition.
