Using a combination of semiconductor theory and experimental results from the scientific literature, we have compiled and plotted the key third-order nonlinear optical coefficients of bulk crystalline Si and Ge as a function of wavelength (1.5-6.7 mu m for Si and 2-14.7 mu m for Ge). The real part of third-order nonlinear dielectric susceptibility (chi((3))'), the two-photon absorption coefficient (beta(TPA)), and the Raman gain coefficient (g(R)), have been investigated. Theoretical predictions were used to curve-fit the experimental data. For a spectral range in which no experimental data exists, we estimate and fill in the missing knowledge. Generally, these coefficient-values appear quite useful for a host of device applications, both Si and Ge offer large chi((3))' and g(R) with Ge offering the stronger nonlinearity. In addition, we use the same theory to predict the third-order nonlinear optical coefficients of Si1-xGex alloy. By alloying Si and Ge, device designers can gain flexibility in tuning desired optical coefficients in between the two fundamental components based upon their application requirements.
