T. Karasawa et al., SPACE-RESOLVED AND TIME-RESOLVED STUDY OF THE NONLINEAR-OPTICAL RESPONSES ON THE EXCITON IN A QUASI-2-DIMENSIONAL SYSTEM IN BII3, Progress in crystal growth and characterization of materials, 33(1-3), 1996, pp. 97-100
Macroscopic and efficient spreading of excitons from an exciting laser
spot to the outside area along a quasi two-dimensional space of a pla
nar-defect in BiI3 is presented by space- and time-resolved photolumin
escence, and the degenerate Four Wave-Mixing (DFWM) signals by use of
spatially separated two laser-beams. The photoluminescence shows wide
spreading due to polariton-like transfer of excitons at low density an
d wider that at higher density. The fast transfer of excitons at high
density was detected as a coherent exciton-flow by the DFWM measuremen
ts.
