Abstract

The three-photon absorption (3PA) spectrum of an indirect-gap material (${\mathrm{CdI}}_{2}$) has been measured at 10 K by monitoring the resulting self-trapped-exciton emission. The contribution of excitonic transitions has been evidenced for excitation energies near the indirect gap, while the contribution of allowed and forbidden indirect transitions has been shown for excitation energies far from the gap. The spectral behavior of the 3PA coefficient has been described by parametric formulas, which are analogous to the ones successfully applied for 3PA in direct-gap materials.
