10 mW of light is incident on a piece of GaAs which is 0.2mm thick. The incident light is a mixture of 5mW at λ1=1.553μm and 5mW at λ2=0.828μm. A total of 7mW mixed light exits out of the GaAs. Assume no reflections at the air/GaAs interface and any light generated by recombination won’t exit the GaAs. What are the absorption coefficients, α, for two different wavelengths?
