Abstract
Studying the optical properties of 5µ to 10µ thick GeSe2 glassy films under the influence of focussed, continuous He-Ne laser beams a region of medium intensity (1.4 to 2.7 kW/cm2) is found where a low frequency (3 to 5 Hz) periodic pulsation in the absorption coefficient sets in. A tentative explanation is suggested in terms of laser induced self-trapped exciton states of the material.
