Abstract

We have studied the near-edge optical response of a LT-grown GaAs sample which was deposited at 300 °C on a Si substrate, and then annealed at 600 °C. The Si was etched away to leave a 3-micron free standing GaAs film. Femtosecond transmission measurements were made using an equal pulse technique at four wavelengths between 825 and 870 nm. For each wavelength we observe both a multipicosecond relaxation time, as well as a shorter relaxation time which is less than 100 femtoseconds.
