Abstract
The nonlinear optical properties of indium antimonide have been observed in a wide variety of investigations. The role of the photogenerated carrier population in creating optical nonlinearity, however, has not been clearly established. Various theories1 have been presented which are based on saturation and/or band-edge shifting arguments, but optical measurements to test these hypotheses have been complicated by inexact data regarding nonlinear absorption coefficients and carrier recombination times.
