Several papers have recently reported experimental results concerning optical frequency conversion with very large frequency spacing (hundreds of gigahertzs) and high efficiency [1,2]. The explanation of such phenomena requires some very fast nonlinearity in the material. Several authors have invoked hot carrier effects to explain ultrafast refractive index dynamics in semiconductor lasers [3, 4, 5].
