Abstract:

We discuss the contribution from channels with Wannier–Mott exciton states as intermediate virtual states. We describe the conditions under which the exciton channels make a much greater contribution compared to that of “ordinary” interband channels.

Keywords:

multiphoton transitions, Wannier–Mott excitons, high-level excitation, perturbation theory
