Abstract
AbstractUnder high excitation conditions thick CdS samples show pronounced broad‐band nonlinear transmission in the bound exciton region and up to a wavelength of about 515 nm at cryo‐temperatures. This behavior is only explainable in a model based on impurity neutralization and bound exciton creation. The suitability of these nonlinearities to yield optical bistability will be shown. Bistable operation is investigated in dependence of crystal thickness, impurity concentration, excitation density, wavelength, and temperature. A strong correlation to acceptor‐bound exciton generation is obtained, and the explanation of this bistable operation fits well with that of the above mentioned transmission behavior.
