Abstract

We observed ultrafast free exciton thermalization time of 700–900 fs and obtained the magnitude of maximal differential absorption to be 1.8×104 cm−1 with the pumping fluence of 10 μJ/cm2 by measuring transient differential transmission in a thin ZnO epitaxial layer at room temperature. The largest induced transparency occurs near exciton resonance associated with absorption saturation by comparing the excitation from the above band-gap to band-tail states. The pumping dependent transient absorption reveals transition of excitonic relaxation from exciton-phonon scattering to exciton-exciton scattering or to an electron-hole plasma.
