Transient coherent and incoherent specular inverse Faraday effect: measurements of surface cubic optical nonlinearities

Not Accessible

Abstract

We report the first observation, to our knowledge, of the nonresonant time-resolved specular inverse Faraday effect (SIFE) and its coherent and incoherent contributions. We have developed it as a polarization-sensitive method for spectroscopy of solids illustrated by what we believe to be the first direct measurements of the free-electron spin-relaxation time in bulk GaAs at room temperature and of several nonresonant cubic optical nonlinearities in various crystals.
