Abstract:We have explained the observed anomalous dependence of colloidal CdSe/ZnS quantum dots' (QDs) absorption upon the intensity of input picosecond laser pulses in the case of one‐photon resonant excitation of exciton 1S3/2(h) – 1S (e) transition – the linear absorption at low intensity is replaced by nonlinear decreasing and then increasing of absorption (!) at high intensities – by saturation effect (state filling) of two‐level system with variable lifetime of the excited state (variable saturation intensity).

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
