Pulse Shaping in a Laser with an Irradiance-dependent Cavity Mirror

Nonlinear optical parameters for InSb at 106 and 96 μm with microsecond pulses

“…A semiconductor material which has been widely studied for its optical properties is Indium Antimonide 1] { 26]. It shows a usable optical nonlinearity at room temperature in the 9-11 m wavelength range of the CO 2 laser 2, 26,5,14,10,11,13,17,18,16,15,9,23,27,7,28] and it is therefore important to develop e ective models of its behaviour, and to determine the values of its physical parameters.…”
