Experiment setup of femtosecond laser pump probe was established, the time resolution of time-delay setting reached 67fs. By use of femtosecond laser with width of 30fs and wavelength is 796nm the dependence of transient change of reflectivity on delayed time in GaAs was measured by pump-probe method. By calculating the change of complex index of refraction (%n), free-carrier effect, lattice-temperature and carrier recombination contributions to relaxation curve was analyzed. When the carrier density N is 1.44×1018/cm3, free-carrier contribution to refraction index %nFC is -7.33×10-4, lattice-temperature %nLT is 0.85×10-4. Based on recombination rate equation, recombination lifetime of 980ps was deduced.

Surface recombination strongly influence on the photoconductivity decay curve. In this work it was shown that usually defined using this curve the effective life time don’t achieve maxima value if silicon sample thickness exceeds six diffusion length. In this case well known formulas for calculation of free carrier recombination lifetime need to be adjusted.

Abstract Apart from broadband absorption of solar radiation, the performance of photovoltaic devices is governed by the density and mobility of photogenerated charge carriers. The latter parameters indicate how many free carriers move away from their origin, and how fast, before loss mechanisms such as carrier recombination occur. However, only lower bounds of these parameters are usually obtained. Here we independently determine both density and mobility of charge carriers in a perovskite film by the use of time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy. Our data reveal the modification of the free carrier response by strong backscattering expected from these heavily disordered perovskite films. The results for different phases and different temperatures show a change of kinetics from two-body recombination at room temperature to three-body recombination at low temperatures. Our results suggest that perovskite-based solar cells can perform well even at low temperatures as long as the three-body recombination has not become predominant.
