Nonlinear Optical Phenomena in Solids

Abstract

Experimental investigations have been carried out on forward mode optical phase conjugation in Hg(1-x)CdxTe using CO2 Q-switched and TEA lasers. The temperature dependence of the degenerate four-wave mixing signal at 10.6 um has been studied for four n-type samples (x=0, 211, 0.216, 0.229, 0.233) and one p-type (x=0, 236) between 80K and 300K. Formation and erasure of a dynamic electron grating in an n-type x=0, 216 sample has been studied. Keywords: Mercury cadmium tellurides; Laser materials; Q switching; Laser pumping; TEA lasers; Carbon dioxide lasers.
