Abstract. CdP2 single crystal of tetragonal modification is investigated by methods of lasermodulated
spectroscopy at 293 K. The spectra of coherent two-photon absorption (TPA) have
been measured and their theoretical analysis has been carried out. Double resonance of TPA
at the total energy of two photons 2.60 eV is observed which occur through impurity level d3
in the gap at energy Ec - 0.86 eV (Ec is the energy of the conduction band edge). The time of
transverse relaxation of electrons is found to be equal to 4.3*10-14 s. The dependence is observed
of single resonance on mutual orientation of vector of linear polarized light and
crystallographic axis enabling us to conclude that the single TPA resonance in CdP2 occurs
between the states Ã7(Ã4) 
Ã7(Ã3), Ã7(Ã5) Ã7(Ã3), Ã6(Ã5) Ã6(Ã1) in the case of the total
energy of two photons is ranged from 2.5 to 3.11 eV. The energies of the states mentioned above
are obtained.
Keywords: laser spectroscopy methods, band structure, two-photon absorption.
