Abstract
Recently developed far infrared techniques of phonon generation and detection are discussed. Detection was performed by far infrared phonon-difference absorption; the method was applied to determine lifetimes of zone-boundary phonons in TlCl and TlBr crystals at different crystal temperatures. Phonon generation was performed by multiphonon infrared absorption; it was found that an originally broadband phonon spectrum narrowed with increasing time after pulsed excitation. Extremely monochromatic phonons were generated by far infrared excitation and relaxation of electronic impurity states; the far infrared generation was applied, together with monochromatic optical detection, to study bottleneck effects for phonons in Al2O3 crystals that contained either excited Cr3+ ions or V4+ ions.
