Mixed regime of light-matter interaction revealed by phase sensitive measurements of the dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect

Mixed regime of light-matter interaction revealed by phase sensitive measurements of the dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect

Significant changes of the optical properties of semiconductors can be observed by applying strong electric fields capable to modify the band structure at equilibrium. This is known as the Franz-Keldysh effect (FKE). Here we study the FKE in bulk GaAs by combining single cycle THz pumps and broadband optical probes. …
