On the nonlinear absorption of light in ZnO single crystals
Baltrameyunas R., Gavryushin V., Kubertavichyus V., Rachyukaitis G.
A study is made of the intrinsic two-photon absorption processes in semiconducting ZnO crystals. It is shown that the nonlinear absorption spectra of these crystals are shaped not only by two-photon absorption but also by two-step impurity absorption. The earlier suggestion of several authors that the two-photon absorption processes are affected by deep-lying valence states is not borne out.
