Intraband carrier kinetics and picosecond pulse shaping in field-enhanced bulk semiconductor absorbers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Picosecond pulse propagation through a field-enhanced waveguide bulk semiconductor saturable absorber is studied numerically. Fast switching from unsaturated absorption to delayed strong saturation and gain, as well as the predicted dependence of saturation energy on electric field, is based on intraband carrier kinetics and electric-field dynamics in the absorber and can lead to improved, controllable pulse shaping.
