Abstract

The mechanism of strong optical nonlinearity connected with the heating of conduction electrons by far infrared electromagnetic radiation in GaAs is theoretically investigated. It is shown that transitions of electrons from (Gamma) _(sigma ) minimum to L_(sigma ) minima of energy in conduction band give the main contribution into the effect. It is found that the intensity of electromagnetic wave necessary for effective modulation of reflection coefficient from many layered structure can be strongly reduced in the condition of leaky TM-polarized wave-guide mode excitation in the structure.
