摘要
Picosecond recombination processes of photoexcited electron-hole plasma in PbSe are directly monitored by time-resolved pump-probe experiments in the wavelength range from 3 to 9 mum. At temperatures T less-than-or-equal-to 70 K, a rapid decrease of carrier density within 100 ps is found for excitation densities higher than 7 X 10(17) CM-3. This behavior is due to recombination by stimulated emission, as is evident from comparative measurements of midinfrared luminescence spectra. At T = 300 K, Auger recombination on a time scale of 2 ns is observed below the threshold of stimulated emission. The data for a carrier density of 3 X 10(18) CM-3 give an Auger coefficient of C congruent-to 10(-28) cm6/s.
