Abstract

AbstractThe optical properties of a direct‐gap semiconductor are investigated under conditions of a strong optical pumping by an intense laser source of frequency slightly larger than the energy band gap. By taking into account the Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes we found that the energy gap in the quasi‐particle spectrum diminishes. The dielectric constant of the system is calculated in the generalized Hartree‐Fock approximation. The Raman cross‐section is found to vanish for energies below 2Δ, where Δ is the quasi‐particle energy gap.
