Energy band-gap dependence of two-photon absorption.

چکیده
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 confident predictions of two-photon absorption coefficients of other materials at other wavelengths.

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 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 کاملThe temperature dependence of the absorption coefficient of porous silicon
The spectral behavior and the temperature dependence of the absorption coefficient of microporous silicon films are studied in the energy range of 1.2–3.8 eV, between 7 and 450 K. For photon energies above the direct band gap at 3.3 eV, the spectral behavior of the absorption coefficient is similar to that of crystalline silicon, and its absolute value is comparable to that estimated using Brug...
