Nonlinear Optical Phenomena in Solids
Abstract
Three nonlinear optical effects in (Hg,Cd)Te have been experimentally evaluated, including the spin-flip Raman laser, four-photon mixing, and optical phase conjugation. Theoretical analysis has revealed the role that Auger recombination plays in limiting the lifetime in p-type (Hg,Cd)Te and strongly degenerate n-type (HgCd)Te. Diamondlike carbon thin films have been produced by argon sputtering in the presence of hydrocarbon gas. Ten major new discoveries have been documented. One patent disclosure was filed and one is in preparation. Ten scientific papers have been published, two chapters are in press and two papers have been accepted for publication. Twenty-three spoken papers have been presented at scientific meetings and four have been submitted for presentation. Twenty-six major interactions with other scientists and organizations have occurred. Samples of (Hg,Cd)Te have been supplied to six universities and institutes, and samples of diamondlike carbon thin films to one government agency.
