RESUMO

We study the ultrafast phenomena in CdTc Quantum Dots in Borosilicate Glasses using short laser pulses (femtoseconds) methods. Measuring the Time Resolved Differential Transmission Spectroscopy we find infrared shifts of the bleached spectra. For the interpretation of these data we study the Electronic Structure of CdTe with 0-D Quantum Confinement. We determine that the process responsible for this phenomenum is intraband relaxation between the discrete states of the material. We study and modelate this and other processes for a detailed discussion. We also measure, in a direct way, the ultrashort relaxation times in the absorption for different samples. The samples showing luminescence bands in the infrared have faster responses than those which do not show them. The ultrafast processes of those that have these bands are due to carrier capture by deep trap states. The others show induced absorption bands, different from the bleaching of the previous ones. This difference is caused by the photodarkening effect: it changes permanently the QDs dynamics by long time exposure of them to the optical excitation beam. We study the passage from "fresh" samples to stabilized ones thit do not change their properties anymore. Studying the dependence with the optical power, we can recognize two processes causing these signals: Auger Recombination, when we have more than one electron-hole pair excited per QD; and another slower process, independent of optical excitation, probably caused by shallow state trapping
