Abstract
Cubic responses in photoelectron emission from a , 02 activated GaAs layer, illuminated by a Q-switched Er ,Thi,Ho : YLF laser ( 2 .O6um) both at room temperature and at liquid nitrogen temperature ( 77K ) were investigated . Photocurrent density proportional to the cubic of intensity of incident light over three orders of magnitude at both temperatures shows not only thatthe electron emission is three-photon photoemission, but also that thermal emission is nebligible at room temperature in our case. The photoemissive current from a P-type monocrystal GaAs substrate activated only by caesium shows six power dependence on light intensity . Comparisons of measured three-photon photoemission coefficient of GaAs(Cs,02) with a theoretical estimated values and with four-photon photoemission coefficient of a Cs3Sb photocathode are given.
