Semiconductors provide some of the most promising materials for nonlinear optics, because
of large resonant nonlinearities, control of recombination time (from milliseconds to …

We investigated the optical properties of defects in CdTe and Cd 1− x Zn x Te (0< x< 1).
Residual impurities give rise to specific far infrared absorptions, while metal vacancy-donor …

Photorefractive materials combine photoconductive and electro-optic properties: light affects
their electrical conductivity; their optical properties (refractive index, etc.) are affected by …

Tunability has added an important dimension to a variety of laser devices and led to new
systems and applications. From laser spectroscopy to Bose-Einstein condensation, the one …

The paper reviews material, spectroscopic, laser and nonlinear optical properties of wide-
band Cr2+-doped II–VI materials. The strong revival of research interest in these materials is …

Reflecting changes in the field in the ten years since the publication of the first edition, The
Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition explores recent advances that have affected this …

The electronic structure and the ferromagnetism of V-and Cr-doped zinc-blende
semiconductor CdTe have been investigated by spin-polarized calculations with first …

A survey of the well-established as well as newly emerging ion-doped crystalline lasers,
operating in the mid-IR spectral range between 2 and 5 µm, is presented. The review …

A brief review of our earlier self-consistent model of pure and halogen compensated semi-
insultating CdTe material is presented. We provide a new reading of this model, in view of …

We solve the problem of the transmission of time modulated signals in a two-beam coupling
photorefractive set-up using an absorbing material. We obtain an analytical expression that …
