title: Two-photon-induced laser annealing for enhancement of photoluminescence intensity in ZnSe crystal.
abstract: We present the finding that photoluminescence intensity in ZnSe crystal is enhanced after exposure to a femtosecond laser beam. After the crystal was illuminated with laser light of 1.04 MW/cm(2) during 300 s, photoluminescence intensity was increased approximately 20%. The region in which photoluminescence intensity was enhanced was localized in the optical axis, because this phenomenon occurred in the two-photon excitation process. It is possible to achieve three-dimensional control of photoluminescence intensity by illumination with laser light.
