Abstract:
A diffusion expansion is obtained for the integrals of Coulomb collisions between nonequilibrium electrons which are responsible for relaxation of the particle distribution functions and polarization induced by interband interaction of a high-power optical pulse with semiconductors and insulators. An analysis is made of the effect of Coulomb collisions on the coherence of the interaction between the field and the medium.
