Light: Science & Applications

Implicit summation is a technique for the conversion of sums over intermediate states in multiphoton absorption and the high-order susceptibility in hydrogen into simple integrals. Here, we derive the equivalent technique for hydrogenic impurities in multi-valley semiconductors. While the absorption has useful applications, it is primarily a loss process; conversely, the non-linear susceptibility is a crucial parameter for active photonic devices. For Si:P, we predict the hyperpolarizability ranges from Chi((3))/ n(3D) = 2.9 to 580 x 10(-38) m(5)/V-2 depending on the frequency, even while avoiding resonance. Using samples of a reasonable density, n(3D), and thickness, L, to produce thirdharmonic generation at 9 THz, a frequency that is difficult to produce with existing solid-state sources, we predict that Chi((3)) should exceed that of bulk InSb and Chi((3)) L should exceed that of graphene and resonantly enhanced quantum wells.
