Noninvasive Imaging of Cardiac Venous Anatomy With 64-Slice Multi-Slice Computed Tomography and Noninvasive Assessment of Left Ventricular Dyssynchrony by 3-Dimensional Tissue Synchronization Imaging
The non-linear response of semiconductor quantum dots is investigated using three-pulse photon echo peak shift (3PEPS) experiments and simulations. The third-order non-linear response is modeled by a three-level system, utilizing Brownian oscillators to model the line-broadening functions. Our results show that biexciton formation and exciton–exciton scattering significantly influence the non-linear response of quantum dots. The exciton to biexciton excited state absorption pathways are also investigated for quantum dots with different crystal structures. Our calculations suggest that the probability of excited state absorption to the biexcitonic state is higher for zinc-blende structured nanocrystals.
