Bilayer graphene is a highly promising material for electronic and optoelectronic applications since it is supporting massive Dirac fermions with a tuneable band gap. However, no consistent picture of the gap's effect on the optical and…

The Doppler effect is one of the dominant broadening mechanisms in thermal vapor spectroscopy. For two-photon transitions one would naively expect the Doppler effect to cause a residual broadening, proportional to the wave-vector…

Multiphoton excitation of a solid by a few-cycle, intense laser pulse forms a very non-equilibrium distribution of charge carriers, where occupation probabilities do not necessarily decrease with energy. We show that, under certain…
