Abstract:
The polarization, spectral and temperature dependences of the single-photon absorption coefficient of polarized radiation are calculated, and its linear-circular dichroism in crystals of tetrahedral symmetry is researched. In this case, the contribution to the coefficients of one- and two-photon absorption of light from the effect of coherent saturation of optical transitions is taken into account.
Keywords:polarization, spectral and temperature dependences of the single-photon light absorption coefficient, linear-circular dichroism, crystal of tetrahedral symmetry, coherent saturation effect.
