Abstract
The photo-Hall technique has been used to investigate the properties of the InSb optical absorption band-edge. An accurate theoretical explanation of the linear absorption results is given, together with new data on the nonlinear aspects of the band-tail. A value of 1.1 x 10-18 for σ has been calculated by monitoring the carrier generation during bistability.
