Non-perturbative Interband Response of InSb Driven Off-resonantly by Few-cycle Electromagnetic Transients

Published 29 Aug 2012 in physics.optics, cond-mat.other, and physics.atom-ph | (1208.5863v1)

Abstract: Intense multi-THz pulses are used to study the coherent nonlinear response of bulk InSb by means of field-resolved four-wave mixing spectroscopy. At amplitudes above 5 MV/cm the signals show a clear temporal substructure which is unexpected in perturbative nonlinear optics. Simulations based on a two-level quantum system demonstrate that in spite of the strongly off-resonant character of the excitation the high-field pulses drive the interband resonances into a non-perturbative regime of Rabi flopping.
