Controlling light polarization is one of the most essential routines in modern optical technology. Since the demonstration of optical pulse shaping by spatial light modulators and its potential in controlling the quantum reaction pathways,…
The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPE) leads to the generation of a photocurrent from an asymmetric material. Despite drawing much attention due to its ability to generate photovoltages above the band gap ($E_g$), it is considered a weak effect…
We report on the observation of nonlinear magneto-gyrotropic photogalvanic effect in HgTe/HgCdTe quantum wells. The interband absorption of mid-infrared radiation as well as the intrasubband absorption of terahertz radiation in the…
Optical control of helicity-dependent photocurrent in topological insulator Sb$_2$Te$_2$Se has been studied at room temperature on dominantly c-axis oriented granular polycrystalline samples grown by pulsed laser deposition technique.…
The theoretical prediction of topological insulators in 2007 triggered tremendous interest. They are of fundamental interest because of their topological twist in k-space, which comes along with unidirectional, spin-polarized surface-state…
The electromotive force transverse to a bias field under irradiation of circularly polarized light, namely the photovoltaic Hall response or light-induced anomalous Hall effect, has attracted considerable attention to investigate the…
Optical rectification of intense, circularly polarized light penetrating a material generates a static magnetic field aligned with the light's direction and proportional to its intensity. Recent experiments have unveiled a substantial,…
We report on an ultrafast photoinduced phase transition with a strikingly long-lived Martensitic anomaly driven by above-threshold single-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses in Nb$_3$Sn. A non-thermal, THz-induced depletion of low frequency…
We introduce the magnon circular photogalvanic effect enabled by stimulated Raman scattering. This provides an all-optical pathway to the generation of directed magnon currents with circularly polarized light in honeycomb antiferromagnetic…
Directional photocurrents in two-dimensional materials arise from broken crystal symmetry, offering pathways to high-speed, bias-free photodetection beyond conventional devices. Tungsten ditelluride (WTe$_2$), a type-II Weyl semimetal,…
We have investigated the effect of imperfect circular polarization on the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy signal, using graphene as a prototypical system that can be understood within tight-binding formalism. We found that perfect…
The photoexcitation life-cycle from incident photon (and creation of photoexcited electron hole pair) to ultimate extraction of electrical current is a complex multi-physics process spanning across a range of spatio-temporal scales of…
We investigated the anomalous Hall conductivity induced in silicon by circularly polarized light at room temperature using near-infrared (NIR) pump-terahertz (THz) probe spectroscopy. The time-resolved detection scheme eliminates the large…
We propose a kinetic theory to describe the power dependence, $I_{PC}(P)$, of the photocurrent (PC) lineshape in optically pumped quantum dots at low temperatures, in both zero and finite magnetic fields. We show that there is a crossover…
We combined steady-state photoconductivity and laser-induced transient current measurements under above-band-gap illumination to study the space charge formation in CdZnTe. Analytical as well as numerical models describing space charge…
The influence of the Hall voltage on the photoluminescence of a dense hydrodynamic electron-hole plasma laser generated in a mesoscopic n-doped GaAs channel under intense laser excitation is studied. Laser excitation induces an interband…
The response of two-dimensional electron gas to temperature gradient in perpendicular magnetic field under steady-state microwave irradiation is studied theoretically. The electric currents induced by temperature gradient and the…
We investigate the photocurrent induced by bicircular light (BCL) in materials, with a focus on its multi-state geometric nature. BCL, a combination of left- and right-circularly polarized light, can generate both injection and shift…
In this work we suggest a phenomenological theory of photogalvanic phenomena in superconducting materials and structures revealing the diode effect. Starting from a generalized London model including the quadratic nonlinearity in the…
Nonlinear photocurrent in time-reversal invariant noncentrosymmetric systems have attracted substantial interest. Here we propose two new types of second-order nonlinear direct photocurrent as the counterpart of normal shift photocurrent…
