Popis: Abstract The article discusses the implementation of ultrafast broadband excitation of A-band luminescence of natural diamond by femtosecond-laser pulses with low-energy near-IR photons. Such regime provides A-band luminescence yield with the fourth-power nonlinearity at low laser intensities and second-power nonlinearity at higher laser intensities. These nonlinear dependences of A-band intensity on laser intensity can be related to quasi-resonant four-photon excitation at lower laser intensities and impact excitation of corresponding optical centers at higher intensities, or to similar nonlinear processes in electron–hole plasma relaxing to trapping donor-acceptor centers.
