Abstract

The linear-circular dichroism of two- and three-photon absorption of light in semiconductors of hole conductivity with cubic symmetry is theoretically investigated. The matrix elements of two- and three-photon optical transitions occurring between the subbands of the semiconductor valence band are calculated. Transitions associated with both non-simultaneous absorption of individual photons and simultaneous absorption of two photons are taken into account, and the spectral and temperature dependences of the coefficients of two- and three-photon absorption of polarized radiation are determined.
