Influence of Mixing Valence Band States to the Conduction Band States on Two-Quantum Linear-Circular Dicroism in Semiconductors
Abstract
A quantitative theory of two-photon linear-circular dichroism caused between the subbands of light and heavy holes of the valence band and conduction band is constructed, which takes into account the admixture of valence band states to the conduction band states and the temperature dependence of the band gap (Eg(T)) in semiconductors of tetrahedral symmetry in the multiband Kane model. It is shown that the type of oscillatory angular dependence or the amplitude values of the probabilities of two-photon optical transitions depend on the state of light polarization. This is due to the fact that, under the influence of linearly polarized light, alignment along the pulse occurs, and under the action of circularly polarized light, the moments of current carriers are oriented. It has been determined that the probability of two-photon optical transitions from the heavy hole subband to the conduction band of semiconductors at a fixed temperature increases with increasing frequency, passes through a maximum, and sharply decreases regardless of the degree of polarization of light, as well as the band gap.
