Abstract

ZnS/ZnSe Bragg reflectors under condition of ZnSe interband excitation by a femtosecond laser pulse exhibit strong narrow-band modification of absorption and wide-band modification of reflection. Mean decay time for nonlinear reflection in heterostructures ranges from 2 to 3 ps whereas in bare ZnSe monolayer it exceeds 5 ps. Possible underlying physical processes responsible for nonlinear refraction in the transparency region include interplay of absorption driven nonlinear refraction via Kramers-Kronig relations and intrinsic dielectric properties of dense electron-hole plasma. For nonlinear absorption at ZnSe band edge, interplay of plasma screening effects and states filling effects are relevant.
