Popis: The non-equilibrium carrier dynamics in GaN epilayer for carrier densities ranging from 4 X 1017 to 1019 cm-3 at 10 K was studied by femtosecond pump-probe transmission spectroscopy. Spectral hole burning was initially peaked roughly at the excitation energy for an estimated carrier density of 4 X 1018 cm-3 and gradually redshifted during the excitation. Because of reduced carrier-carrier and carrier-phonon scattering, a very slow energy relaxation of the hot carriers at these densities were observed. We show that the hot carriers were strongly confined in a non-thermal distribution and they relaxed collectively to the band edge.© (2001) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
