Energy band-gap dependence of two-photon absorption.
We present measurements of the two-photon absorption coefficients beta(2) of 10 different semiconductors having band-gap energies between 1.4 and 3.7 eV. We find that beta(2) varies as E(g)(-3), as predicted by theory. In addition, the absolute values of beta(2) agree with theory, which includes the effect of nonparabolic bands, the average difference being less than 26%. This agreement permits...
متن کاملPhoton energy upconversion in porphyrins: one-photon hot-band absorption versus two-photon absorption
We study the porphyrin S1 ! S0 fluorescence and the photosensitized singlet oxygen Dg ! Rg phosphorescence, both originating from absorption of photons with energy less than the porphyrin S0 ! S1 transition energy. By measuring the excitation intensity dependence of fluorescence at lowered sample temperatures, we are able to discriminate between two parallel processes of one-photon hot-band abs...
متن کاملExtremely nondegenerate two-photon absorption in direct-gap semiconductors [Invited].
Two-photon absorption (2PA) spectra with pairs of extremely nondegenerate photons are measured in several direct-gap semiconductors (GaAs, CdTe, ZnO, ZnS and ZnSe) using picosecond or femtosecond pulses. In ZnSe, using photons with a ratio of energies of ~12, we obtain a 270-fold enhancement of 2PA when comparing to the corresponding degenerate 2PA coefficient at the average photon energy (ηω1 ...
متن کاملDynamic band unblocking and leakage two-photon absorption in InSb
An experimental demonstration of a dynamic decrease of the optical band gap of bulk n-InSb induced by picosecond, midinfrared laser pulses is reported. This occurs as a result of laser heating of the quiescent electron distribution by free-carrier absorption. The hot electrons vacate low-energy states near the conductionband minimum, unblocking terminal states for two-photon absorption across t...
متن کاملVibration and two-photon absorption
A treatment of nuclear vibrational motions in two-photon absorption is laid out in detail. Perturbation theory is used to develop working formulas for diatomic molecules and tested for the X S – A P transition of carbon monoxide. The results are compared with the exact numerical values. Certain vibrational contributions, not previously recognized, are found to make an important contribution to ...
