Abstrakt: Large optical bleaching effect was found in epitaxial InN layers from Z-scan measurements at 1.054 μm laser wavelength. Optical transmittance increases nearly five times at the largest light intensities used in experiment. The bleaching recovery time shorter than 3 ps was evidenced from time-resolved measurements at this wavelength, which is much faster than the electron lifetimes of 40 and 240 ps determined on two epitaxial layers by visible pump-terahertz probe technique. Spectral investigations of the bleaching effect performed in the wavelength range from 1 to 1.55 μm support the conclusions on a narrow band gap of InN. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
