Abstract
We perform high-intensity pulse propagation experiments in semiconductors. On a free-exciton resonance, we demonstrate coherent Self-Induced Transmiss ion. Tuning the laser towards higher energy, thus exciting continuum states , the degree of transmission is reduced. The pulse breakup disappears. Incr easing the pulse intensity by several orders of magnitude, pulse breakup ca n be observed again. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America.
