In the nanosecond regime the pulse energies required for maximum coupling gain in semiconductors easily reach the limit for saturation of the deep centers. especially if one of the recombination times is larger than the pulse duration. In that case, induced absorption (or bleaching) will appear due to a redistribution of the population of the different levels of the deep center and counterbalance photorefractive amplification. The present simultaneous study of the kinetics of the induced absorption and the photocurrent in an InP:Fe sample reveals a number of interesting parameters like electron and hole recombination times, ionization cross sections and Fe2+/Fe3+ concentrations.","PeriodicalId":385625,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Photorefractive Materials, Effects, and Devices II","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129399906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novel feature of this resonator over single crystal resonators2,3 is the addition of a second crystal in our case to couple light out of the resonator providing a saturable loss4. The nonlinearity of a single crystal resonator is manifested in the saturation of the small signal gain. The nonlinearity of the two crystal system is enriched by the interplay between the two crystal time constants and the small signal gain and loss, as well as the addition of the second saturation point The dynamic behavior of the system can be described as a competitive interaction between gain and loss; if the gain wins, the resonator turns on, and if the loss wins the resonator remains off. Self pulsing occurs when the winner is alternately the gain and then the loss, and then the gain again, and so forth. The relative time constants, coupling strengths, and saturation points of the two crystals dictate the details of the competitive interaction. In this communication we include the loss crystal in a theory for photorefractive resonators to address the experimental observations of self pulsing.","PeriodicalId":385625,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Photorefractive Materials, Effects, and Devices II","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125382876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
