Nonlocal Photorefractive Screening from Hot Electron Velocity Saturation in Semiconductors.
Intervalley scattering of hot electrons during high-field transport in transverse-field photorefractive quantum wells induces a nonlocal optical response in which photoinduced changes in the refractive index are spatially shifted relative to the optical stimulus, providing an avenue for optical gain. We demonstrate that the onset of the photorefractive phase shift coincides with the onset of ve...
متن کاملCollision kernels from velocity-selective optical pumping with magnetic depolarization
We experimentally demonstrate how magnetic depolarization of velocity-selective optical pumping can be used to single out the collisional cusp kernel best describing spinand velocity-relaxing collisions between potassium atoms and low-pressure helium. The range of pressures and transverse fields used simulate the optical pumping regime pertinent to sodium guidestars employed in adaptive optics....
متن کاملSaturation in Semiconductors
For different models of the electron-phonon interaction, the asymptotic behaviour of the moments of the stationary homogeneous solution of the linear Boltzmann equation is determined in the limit of a high external field. For Hilbert-Schmidt kernels of a finite rank, a result recently proven for kernels of rank one is found generally valid; as a consequence velocity saturation is excluded for t...
متن کاملA Fast Spectral Method for the Boltzmann Collision Operator with General Collision Kernels
We propose a simple fast spectral method for the Boltzmann collision operator with general collision kernels. In contrast to the direct spectral method [17, 28] which requires O(N) memory to store precomputed weights and has O(N) numerical complexity, the new method has complexity O(MN logN), where N is the number of discretization points in each of the three velocity dimensions and M is the to...
متن کاملComputational Physics and Methods A fast spectral method for the Boltzmann collision operator with general collision kernels
We propose a simple fast spectral method for the Boltzmann collision operator with general collision kernels. Compared with the direct spectral method [8] which requires O(N6) memory to store precomputed weights and has O(N6) numerical complexity, the new method has complexity O(MN4 logN), where N is the number of discretization points in each velocity dimension, M is the total number discretiz...
