Abstract

Nondegenerate four-wave-mixing allows one to monitor the femtosecond relaxation of free carriers in GaAs and CdTe at densities as low as 2×1015 cm-3. The energy relaxation time of electrons via LO-phonon emission is determined to be 240±20 fs in GaAs. In more polar CdTe, this time constant is found to be as short as 70±15 fs which is even shorter than the phonon oscillation period of 200 fs.
