We find that these wells are strongly nonlinear at far-infrared frequencies: odd harmonics ninth order have been observed at high incident intensities, and the peak value of chi(3) reaches approximately 1 esu. This is several orders of magnitude larger than previously reported values for chi(3) in bulk n-GaAs (10(-4) esu)[1] and in polyacetylene (10(-7) esu)[2]. The large magnitude of chi(3) is attributed to the high carrier density in the InAs wells, and to the strong non-parabolicity of the conduction band in InAs. However, the free-carrier chi(3) for bulk InAs predicts a density-dependence different from that observed, and the measured decrease in chi(3) with increasing intensity indicates non-perturbative response. We find that the anisotropy of chi(3) displays the expected 4-fold symmetry.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WOS:A1994NE79600163</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sherwin, Mark S/Q-4762-2017&lt;br/&gt;Sherwin, Mark S/0000-0002-3869-1893; Markelz, Andrea/0000-0003-0443-4319&lt;br/&gt;6th International Conference on Modulated Semiconductor Structures&lt;br/&gt;Aug 23-27, 1993&lt;br/&gt;Garmisch partenkir, germany&lt;br/&gt;Tech univ munchen, walter schottky inst&lt;br/&gt;9</style></notes></record></records></xml>
