Self-Induced Transmission on a Free Exciton Resonance in a Semiconductor

Harald W. Giessen, A. Knorr, S. Haas +6 more

We observe coherent long-distance propagation of an optical pulse in resonance with the free exciton at high light intensities in an optically thick semiconductor. The experiments show pulse reshaping, pulse breakup, and a high degree of transmission. Microscopic calculations using the semiconductor Maxwell-Bloch equations yield good agreement with the experimental data.

Nonlinear Pulse Propagation in Semiconductors: Hole Burning within a Homogeneous Line

Jens Förstner, A. Knorr, S. W. Koch

Features reminiscent of spectral hole burning in a homogeneous line are predicted to result from the interaction of small area pulses with the semiconductor exciton resonance. The small area pulses may be designed through pulse shaping or evolve naturally in bulk semiconductors via polaritonic effects. The spectral features exhibit signatures that are characteristic for the underlying material nonlinearity and should occur in any system with isolated spectral resonances and coherent nonlinearities.

High-intensity pulse propagation in semiconductors: on-resonant self-induced transmission and effects in the continuum

Harald W. Giessen, Stefan Lindén, Juergen Kuhl +5 more

We perform high-intensity pulse propagation experiments in semiconductors. On a free exciton resonance, we demonstrate coherent Self-Induced Transmission. Tuning the laser towards higher energy, thus exciting continuum states, the degree of transmission is reduced. The pulse breakup vanishes. Increasing the pulse intensity by several orders of magnitude, pulse breakup can be observed again.
