The Dynamical Franz-Keldysh Effect is exposed by exploring near-bandgap absorption in the presence of intense THz electric fields. It bridges the gap between the DC Franz- Keldysh effect and multi-photon absorption and competes with the THz…
Franz-Keldysh effect is expressed in the smearing of the absorption edge in semiconductors under high electric fields. While Franz and Keldysh considered a limited case of externally applied uniform electric field, the same effect may be…
The effect of a constant electric field on two-photon absorption in a semiconductor is calculated using an independent-particle theory. The theoretical framework is an extension of a theory of the one-photon Franz-Keldysh effect [Wahlstrand…
We theoretically investigate the dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect in femtosecond time resolution, that is, the time-dependent modulation of a dielectric function at around the band gap under an irradiation of an intense laser field. We…
Franz-Keldysh oscillations of the optical absorption in the presence of short-range disorder are studied theoretically. The magnitude of the effect depends on the relation between the mean-free path in a zero field and the distance between…
We theoretically study the effect of THz radiation on the linear optical absorption spectra of semiconductor structures. A general theoretical framework, based on non-equilibrium Green functions, is formulated, and applied to the…
The effect of a constant electric field on two-photon absorption in a direct band gap semiconductor is calculated using an independent-particle theory. Two band structure models for GaAs are used: a two-band parabolic model and an…
Solid-state materials have recently emerged as a new stage of strong-field physics and attosecond science. The mechanism of the electron dynamics driven by an ultrashort intense laser pulse is under intensive discussion. Here we…
We study the linear optical absorption of bulk semiconductors in the presence of a homogeneous constant (dc) electric field with an approach suitable for including excitonic effects while working with many-band models. The absorption…
In (100)-oriented GaAs illuminated at normal incidence by a laser and its second harmonic, interference between one- and two-photon absorption results in ballistic current injection, but not modulation of the overall carrier injection rate.…
We applied the time-resolved attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy to systematically investigate ultrafast optical responses of condensed matter systems. Under an intense pump pulse, absorption spectra indicate that the…
The speed of ultra-fast optical switches is generally limited by the intrinsic electronic response time of the material. Here we show that the phase content of selected electromagnetic pulses can be used to measure the timescales…
I present a theory of electron dynamics in semiconductors with slowly varying composition. I show that the frequency-dependent conductivity, required for the description of transport and optical properties, can be obtained from a knowledge…
The deep ultraviolet, the bandgap region of dielectrics, is not readily accessible for established methods of ultrafast spectroscopy. Here, a miniature beamline, where a tailored deep ultraviolet field is used immediately after the…
We theoretically investigate a relation between the crystalline symmetry and the transient modulation of optical properties of crystalline dielectrics in pump-probe measurements using intense pump and attosecond probe fields. When the…
The dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect, indicative of the transient light-matter interaction regime between quantum and classical realms, is widely recognized as an essential signature in wide bandgap condensed matter systems such as…
The damping of single-particle degrees of freedom in strongly correlated two-dimensional Fermi systems is analyzed. Suppression of the scattering amplitude due to the damping effects is shown to play a key role in preserving the validity of…
Spatial fluctuations of the local electric field induced by a constant applied electric field in composite media are studied analytically and numerically. It is found that the density of states for the fields exhibit sharp peaks and abrupt…
We formulate a time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in terms of the density matrix to study ultrafast phenomena in semiconductor structures. A system of equations for the density matrix components, which is equivalent to the…
We present the analytical method enables one to compute the optical functions i.e., reflectivity, transmission and absorption including the excitonic effects for a semiconductor crystal exposed to a uniform electric field for energy region…
