Abstract
During the past year, the broad tunability (1-10 mum) and megawatt pea k intensity made available by the Vanderbilt Free-Electron Laser opene d new and productive avenues to semiconductor research. This paper ove rviews three of these experimental areas: nonlinear optical absorption in germanium, photoabsorption at heterojunction interfaces with empha sis on highly accurate measurements of band-edge discontinuities, and finally resonant photodesorption/ablation.
