Abstract
Extremely large nonlinearities have been measured in CdS, a 2.59 eV direct gap semiconductor exhibiting excitonic effects. Both the free and the bound exciton nonlinearities were studied. No experimental evidence for the biexciton resonance was obtained. Low switching energy (<4pJ), high switching speed (<1ns), all-optical bistability was observed for a small detuning from the bound exciton resonance.KeywordsNonlinear AbsorptionFree ExcitonOptical BistabilitySwitching EnergyNonlinear IndexThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
