Saturable absorption is a nonperturbative nonlinear optical phenomenon that plays a pivotal
role in the generation of ultrafast light pulses. Here we show that this effect emerges in …

Following the birth of the laser in 1960, the field of" nonlinear optics" rapidly emerged.
Today, laser intensities and pulse durations are readily available, for which the concepts …

For excitation of the model semiconductor GaAs with optical pulses which are both
extremely short (5 fs) and extremely intense (≈ 10 12 W cm− 2), we can meet the condition …

We observe multiple excitonic optical Rabi oscillations in a semiconductor quantum well. Up
to eight oscillation periods of the heavy-hole exciton density on a subpicosecond time scale …

The coherent optical response of semiconductors has been the subject of substantial
research over the last couple of decades. The interest has been motivated by unique …

Intense multiterahertz 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 …
