chi((3)) nonlinear susceptibility in II-VI compounds and applications for squeezed light generation in semiconductors

We have measured the nonlinear refractive index near half-bandgap (E(g)/2) in ZnS and ZnSe by self-phase modulation experiments. The ratio of the nonlinear phase shift and the total optical absorption losses is critically dependent on the detuning from E(g)/2. Efficient quadrature squeezing was obta...
