Abstract :
Photoluminescence was used to study multiphoton excitations in porous Si. With picosecond exciting pulses in the mid-infrared, even a nine-photon excitation process could be readily observed. Excitations are likely of the multi-resonant, multi-step type, with the surface states involved as intermediate resonant levels. Absorption by vibrational transitions of surface species could lead to resonant features in the excitation spectrum
