Abstract
Relaxation of the dynamic gratings formed by nonequilibrium charge carriers in thin single-crystal silicon films during femtosecond laser excitation w as studied. The case of the ultimate concentration of carriers (N approxima te to 10(21) cm(-3)) is considered. Ambipolar diffusion and Auger recombina tion contributions to the grating decay are estimated. The observation of a long-lived grating at pump intensity above 5 x 10(11) W/cm(2) is reported. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
