Microscopic theory of two-photon absorption and stimulated emission in direct-gap semiconductors — •Wolf-Rüdiger Hannes and Torsten Meier — Department of Physics and CeOPP, University of Paderborn, Warburger Str. 100, D-33098 Paderborn, Germany

Two-photon absorption (TPA) rates in semiconductors are analyzed within a simple two-band model. The light-matter interaction is treated non-perturbatively using the semiconductor Bloch-equations extended by the intraband accelaration [1], which is shown to cause a significant enhancement of the χ⁽³⁾ nonlinear response as compared to the two-photon transition rate from second-order perturbation theory. [2] The enhancement is particularly strong for widely-nondegenerate signal and idler photons. Our results are in agreement with experimental spectra for both TPA [3] and stimulated two-photon emission. [4]
