Abstract
ABSTRACTThe dynamics of the electron-hole plasma in silicon and germanium samples irradiated by 20 ps, 532 nm laser pulses has been investigated in the near infrared by time-resolved picosecond optical spectroscopy. The experimental reflectivities and transmissions are compared with the redictions of the thermal model for degenerate carrier distributions through the Drue iformalism. Above a certain fluence, a significant deviation between measured and calculated values indicates a strong increase of the recombination rate as soon as the plasma resonances become comparable with the band gaps. These new plasmon-aided recombination channels are particularly pronounced in germanium.
