Abstract

We report the observation of a sharp band-edge response in spectrally resolved differential reflectivity experiments on GaMnAs, in contrast to linear optical experiments in which large band-tail effects are known to dominate. The differential reflectivity response exhibits a blue shift relative to results in GaAs and LT-GaAs, consistent with the valence-band model of ferromagnetism. Our results demonstrate the utility of nonlinear optical techniques for studying the electronic structure of III-Mn-V diluted magnetic semiconductors.
