We report a systematic investigation of both three-photon absorption (3PA)spectra and wavelength dispersions of Kerr-type nonlinear refraction in wide-gap semiconductors. The Z-scan measurements are recorded for both ZnO and ZnS with…
Spectra of the degenerate two-photon absorption coefficient $\beta(\omega)$, anisotropy parameter $\sigma(\omega)$, and dichroism parameter $\delta(\omega) = \big[\sigma(\omega) + 2\eta(\omega)\big]/2$ of crystalline 110-cut GaAs, GaP, and…
Bound- and excited-state electronic nonlinearities in CdS quantum dots have been investigated by Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing (DFWM) and Z-scan techniques in the femtosecond time regime. This QD sample shows Kerr-type nonlinearity for…
We report a study of high-order multi-photon absorption, nonlinear refraction, and their anisotropy in four notable mid-infrared \c{hi}(2) crystals: GaP, ZnSe, GaSe and ZGP using the Z- scan method and 2.35-{\mu}m femtosecond pulses with…
Non-degenerate two-photon absorption (TPA) is investigated in a nanophotonic silicon waveguide in a configuration such that the dispersion of the nonlinear absorption and refraction cannot be neglected. It is shown that a signal wave can…
We report on large three-photon absorption (3PA) in glutathione-capped ZnS semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs), determined by both Z-scan and transient transmission techniques with 120-fs laser pulses. The monodispersed, water-soluble ZnS NCs…
We recently demonstrated orders of magnitude enhancement of two-photon absorption (2PA) in direct gap semiconductors due to intermediate state resonance enhancement for photons of very different energies. It can be expected that further…
We have expressed the nonlinear optical absorption of a semiconductor in terms of its linear spectrum. We determined that the two-photon absorption coefficient in a strong DC-electric field of a direct gap semiconductor can be expressed as…
We experimentally and theoretically investigate the non-degenerate two-photon absorption coefficient $\beta(\omega_1,\omega_2)$ in the prototypical semiconductor ZnSe. In particular, we provide a comprehensive data set on the dependence of…
$\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ is an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor and is thus expected to be optically transparent to light of sub-bandgap wavelengths well into the ultraviolet. Contrary to this expectation, it is found here that free electrons in…
We utilize the recently demonstrated orders of magnitude enhancement of extremely nondegenerate two-photon absorption in direct-gap semiconductor photodiodes to perform scanned imaging of 3D structures using IR femtosecond illumination…
For a one-dimensional electron-phonon system we consider the photon absorption involving electronic excitations within the pseudogap energy range. In the framework of the adiabatic approximation for the electron - phonon interactions these…
In$_2$Se$_3$ is a semiconductor material that can be stabilized in different crystal structures (at least one 3D and several 2D layered structures have been reported) with diverse electrical and optical properties. This feature has plagued…
We present an analytical quantum theoretic model for non-resonant molecular two-photon absorption (TPA) of broadband, spectrally multi-mode squeezed vacuum, including low-gain (isolated entangled photon pairs or EPP) and high-gain (bright…
The simplest approach to deal with light excitations in direct-gap semiconductors is to model them as a two-band system: one conduction and one valence band. For such models, particularly simple analytical expressions are known to exist for…
Discovery of high-performance materials remains one of the most active areas in photovoltaics (PV) research. Indirect band gap materials form the largest part of the semiconductor chemical space, but predicting their suitability for PV…
Utilizing three-terminal tunnel emission of ballistic electrons and holes, we have developed a method to self-consistently measure the bandgap of semiconductors and band discontinuities at semiconductor heterojunctions without any…
We study in detail coherent phase control of femtosecond resonance-mediated (2+1) three-photon absorption and its dependence on the spectral bandwidth of the excitation pulse. The regime is the weak-field regime of third perturbative order.…
We experimentally and theoretically challenge the concept of coherent perfect absorption (CPA) as a narrow frequency resonant mechanism associated with scattering processes that respect scale-invariance. Using a microwave platform,…
Using an Electrically Focus Tunable Lens (EFTL), an integrating sphere and a tunable femtosecond-pulse laser (Mai Tai HP), we were able to measure the degenerate two-photon absorption coefficient (in transmission) of CdS and ZnSe in a long…
