Abstract

An increase of the fundamental interband absorption due to applied electric fields up to 150 V cm −1 has been found in highly doped n-PbTe at 80 K. The results can be explained by an electron temperature model. An energy relaxation time of 1.8 × 10 −12 sec is obtained from the electron temperature vs field strenght relation.
