Nanosecond near resonant excitation in As50S50 thin films leads to strong nonlinear optical response, i.e. nonlinear absorption coefficient up to 4 × 106 cm GW−1 and nonlinear refractive index of 8.5 cm2 GW−1, both of which are the strongest ever reported in amorphous semiconductors. We propose a three-level energy band model to explain this effect, which indicates that the nonlinear process is reverse saturable absorption in nature, mediated by excited-state absorption from slow interband…
