Research Abstract |
<Observation of nonequilibrium electrons in CdSe> Femtosecond pump-and-probe spectroscopy was applied to highly excited CdSe. Nonequilibrium distribution of electrons was observed for 50 fs. <Exciton-hole collision in type-II AlGaAs-AlAs quantum wells> Exciton-hole collision rate was measured by means of time-resolved degenerate four-wave mixing. Phase relaxation of excitons is dominated by the collision between the excitons and long-lived holes. <Observation of coherent optical phonons in BiI_3> Resonant coherent lattice vibrations in the vicinity of the indirect absorption edge in a BiI_3 lattice crystal are observed in a femtosecond pump-and-probe experiment. The coherent transverse optical lattice vibration, which has a period of 300 fs, continues for more than 100 cycles. <Quantum beats of Wannier excitons and excitonic polaritons> Quantum beats of Wannier excitons and excitonic polaritons were observed in ZnP_2. Qunatum beat originates from Wannier excitons whose principal quantum numbers n are 2,3 and 4. Polariton quantum beat was also observed as a result of interference of both upper and lower polaritons around the n =1 resonance.
