Nonlinear Optical Properties and Subpicosecond Dynamics of Excitons and Electron-Hole Plasmas in Multiple Quantum Well Structures.

Abstract

Progress is reported in measuring the nonlinear optical properties and picosecond dynamics of carriers in multiple quantum wells and other bulk and Molecular Beam Epitaxially grown structures. Discussions of our progress are divided into six parts; (1) fabrication and characterization, (2) picosecond time-resolved transient absorption, (3) picosecond time-resolved photoluminescence, (4) theory of dressed excitons, (5) picosecond photorefractive effects, and (6) picosecond and femtosecond laser development. Keywords: Nonlinear Optics; Optical Devices; Ultrafast Phenomena; Multiple Quantum Wells.
