The intrinsically p-type copper iodide (CuI) with a direct band gap of 2.95 eV at 300 K [1] and high exciton binding energy is a promising material for transparent semiconductor devices. The photoluminescence (PL) emission properties of CuI crystals have been recently reported [2]. However, the PL emission induced by two-photon absorption (TPA-PL) has not been discussed in detail, so far.
We report on TPA-PL phenomena in CuI single crystals. A redshift compared to the conventional PL emission was observed. The TPA-PL spectrum can be nicely described by means of a simplified approach which takes into account the internal emission spectrum at the focal point, the propagation of the emitted photons inside the crystal and the absorption coefficient of CuI (determined by ellipsometry and taken from [2]). For the entire TPA-PL intensity we observed a non-linear power dependence, namely I ∝ P γ. The exponent γ depends on the excitation wavelength and ranges from 2 (expected for TPA-PL excitation via a virtual state) down to 1.5. The latter value was justified by a two-step TPA-PL process via a real state i.e. defect level.
