Abstract

A phase-stable superposition of femtosecond pulses and their second harmonic induces ultrashort microampere current bursts in single unbiased GaAs nanowires. Current injection relies on quantum interference of one- and two-photon absorption pathways.

Keywords

coherent control electrical currents gallium arsenide nanowires femtosecond pulses quantum interference all-optical
