Abstract
A one-dimensional photonic crystal containing a single CdS defect layer of various thicknesses was fabricated. The dependence of the two-photon-absorption (TPA) coefficient on the defect mode was investigated by use of a femtosecond pump–probe method. Experimental results show that the TPA coefficient of the CdS defect layer depends strongly on the defect mode in the photonic bandgap. This is consistent with the predicted dependence of light intensity within the defect layer.
