ABSTRACTSuperlattices and quantum wells of Znl-xCdxSe/ZnSe, and heterostructures based on ZnSe/CdSe digital alloys have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Their optical properties were studied with particular emphasis on excitonic absorption and photopumped stimulated emission. Excitonic absorption is easily observable up to 400 K, and is characterized by extremely large absorption coefficients (α = 2×105cm−1). Optically pumped lasing action is obtained at room temperature with a typical threshold intensity of 100 kW/cm2. The lasing mechanism in these II-VI quantum wells appears to be quite different from that in the better studied III-V materials: in our case, the onset of stimulated emission occurs before the saturation of the excitonic absorption, and the stimulated emission occurs at an energy lower than that of the excitonic absorption.

AbstractThe absorption characteristics of commercial CdS-containing yellow glass which shows constant transmitted intensity over a range of incident CW laser intensity have been studied at room temperature. Although the thick specimen (t>0.6 mm) shows only a broad step-like feature near λ>460 nm, a thin (t-0.09 mm) specimen shows two absorption features which can be interpreted as the first two quantum-confined exciton absorption features corresponding to a crystallite size of -45 Å. The absorption spectrum of a sample (t∼O.6 mm) heated for 15 min. at 700°C shows two new absorption features at 450 nm and 380 nm, which correspond to a much smaller crystallite size of -25 Å. This reduction in size is not inconsistent with estimates made from a well-known model for crystallite growth. Some consequences of these changes in the absorption features on the optical nonlinearities of the glass will be discussed.

ABSTRACTWe present quasi-steady-state photoinduced absorption measurements on thin films of colloidal CdSe nanocrystals. We observe an intense, size-dependent absorption peaking in the mid-infrared when the samples are irradiated with visible light. The absorption is accompanied by a bleach in the visible near the position of the first excitonic absorption and persists with a lifetime of milliseconds at room temperature. We characterize the lifetime of the electron state and its cross-section. We attribute this feature to the 1S-1P transition of a delocalized electron. We report a bleaching of the first excitonic transition in electrically excited nanocrystal-based diode structures, and attribute it to charging of the 1S electron state.
