In particular, we provide a comprehensive data set on the dependence of $\\beta(\\omega_1,\\omega_2)$ on the non-degeneracy parameter $\\omega_1/\\omega_2$ with the total frequency sum $\\omega_1+\\omega_2$ kept constant. We find a substantial increase of the two-photon absorption strength with increasing $\\omega_1/\\omega_2$. In addition, different crystallographic orientations and polarization configurations are investigated. The nonlinear optical response is analyzed theoretically by evaluating the multiband semiconductor Bloch equations including inter- and intraband excitations in the length gauge. The band structure and the matrix elements are taken an eight-band k.p model. The simulation results are in very good agreement with the experiment.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-05-22T13:50:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "experiment", "non-degenerate two-photon absorption coefficient", "multiband semiconductor bloch equations", "two-photon absorption strength", "total frequency sum" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
