Description

Control of photoinjection of free carriers in bulk GaAs at room temperature was achieved by changing the chirp of the excitation light pulses having a duration in the 10 fs regime. It was observed from pump-probe measurements that the transmittance increases for negatively chirped pump pulses, which is opposite to the trend observed with other materials. The result is explained by a combination of an intrapulse pump-dump process and band-gap renormalization, and shows the possibility of a new way to control the ultrafast dynamics of many-body systems in semiconductors.
