Resonatorless optical bistability in direct-band-gap semiconductors as an example of bistability driven by a phase transition

V. A. Kochelap, A. V. Kuznetsov

Within the framework of a simple numerical model, we investigate the optical properties of a laser-excited direct-band-gap semiconductor (CdS) in the case when both free and bound electron-hole pairs are present. At low temperatures the ionization of excitons proceeds via a first-order phase transition, which is closely related to the Mott transition, and we argue that in direct-band-gap semiconductors it is not suppressed by the electron-hole liquid condensation, as it is in indirect-band-gap materials. The existence of the two corresponding ionization phases with different optical properties is shown to result in optical bistability (OB), which is quite similar to the increasing-absorption (resonatorless) OB but has some peculiarities of its own. Our model also predicts another optical manifestation of this ionization phase transition---the possibility of absorption oscillations at resonant excitation of excitons.

Entangled two-photon absorption spectroscopy for optically forbidden transition detection

Hisaki Oka

We theoretically propose a spectroscopic method for measuring optically forbidden states using entangled two-photon absorption (TPA). As a model system, we consider a diatomic molecular system consisting of three adiabatic potentials, namely, ground, intermediate, and excited states, where the intermediate state cannot be directly excited from the ground state. In our method, we pump the excited state using entangled TPA and indirectly measure the optically forbidden intermediate state through the photon emission from the excited state to the intermediate state. The condition required for this method is only that the transition rate between the excited and intermediate states is sufficiently high. Using our proposed method, we show that the optically forbidden state can be detected with a high degree of accuracy when highly efficient and selective TPA is realized.
