Transient time-irreversible optical interaction in zinc-blende semiconductors

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Recently we have found a class of media, namely, zing-blende semiconductors (e.g., GaAS and InSb), in which polarization-sensitive interaction with light exhibits time- irreversible behavior.1,3 This phenomenon is due to relativistic q-linear spin splitting (q is the wave vector of the electron) in the band structure. Here we report what we believe to be the first results of a femtosecond pump-probe study of light-induced time-irreversible birefringence/di-chroism.
