Abstract

Picosecond degenerate and nondegenerate transient gratings in wide band gap crystals are reviewed. The concepts focus on how these transient gratings can be used as spectroscopic tools to investigate the dynamics of photogenerated electron-holes to impurities in ZnSe:Cu, and coherent optical phonons. The nondegenerate moving transient grating method is used to generate Raman spectra of LiNbO3 and CaCO3 spanning 2000 cm-1 in a single 30 ps. pulse. A new real time phonon dynamic technique using these gratings in conjunction with a streak camera is discussed. This technique is used to measure the dephasing of the coherent optical phonons in CaCO3 of 7.5 ps. and LiNbO3, with a temporal resolution of 2 ps.
