Application of Four-Wave Mixing Spectroscopy in the Excitonic Region of Semiconductors.

Abstract

Two different areas of research were conducted (I) Development of a photoacoustic detection scheme using nanosecond laser pulses, and its application to semiconductors research, (in particular, the study of two-photon absorption in ZnS) (II) Study of nonlinear optical effects in the excitonic region of CdS. In this work, bound exciton laser action was investigated in detail, employing a new cavity configuration. Publications: Photoacoustic Detection of Polarization-Dependent Nonlinear Optical Effects in Crystals; Photoacoustic Detection of Nanosecond-Pulse-Induced Optical Absorption in Solids; Photoacoustic Study of Two-Photon Absorption in hexagonal ZNS; Visits to Laser Research Laboratories in Japan; Laser Oscillations in the Bound-Excitonic Region of CDS; Bound-Exciton Laser Action in CdS; and Laser Oscillations in the Bound-Excitonic Region of CdS.
