Abstract
The nonlinear optical characteristics of semiconductors are studied near the two-photon biexciton resonance. Optical bistability is shown to happen below this resonance at very low light intensities.


Résumé
Nous étudions les caractéristiques optiques non linéaires de semiconducteurs au voisinage de la résonance d'absorption de deux photons par un biexciton. Nous montrons que la bistabilité optique apparaît au-dessous de cette résonance à très faibles intensités de lumière.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
