Abstract
A study has been made of photoconductivity in Cdln2S4 induced by 1.17 eV photons from a Q-switched neodymium laser. Both three-photon absorption, and two-photon absorption involving the emission of a phonon, have been investigated. The experimental data are in satisfactory agreement with the theory of multi-quantum transitions which takes into account the peculiarities of crystal zone structure.
The investigation of competing multi-quantum transitions is a new method which permits one to obtain information on the fundamental optical constants of solids.
