Laser‐Induced Transient Grating in Semiconductor‐Doped Glasses

Abstract
The characteristics are investigated of a transient grating induced by laser in glasses doped with CdSSe semiconductor and the nonlinear response time of the material is obtained. Also the properties of photoluminescence of the glasses are studied and a blue shift in luminescence spectra with increasing intensity of the input beam is observed. It is assumed that the nonlinearity of the material is due to band filling in semiconductor microcrystallites.
