Abstract

Large laser-induced changes in the refractive index of semiconductors were essential for optical switching and optical bistability. Band gap resonant changes were observed in InSb with both nanosecond and picosecond pulses.^1,2 Here we report observation of strong modulation of the refractive index in InSb due to free carriers generated by two-photon absorption.
