Abstract
We have measured the free‐carrier recombination time in polycrystalline bulk ZnSe to be in the range 7–14 ns at room temperature. We used an excite and probe technique with near‐band‐edge nanosecond laser pulses to measure the decay of induced free‐carrier absorption. We estimate the free‐carrier‐pair absorption cross section to be in the range (3–6)×10−17 cm2.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
