Abstract

We report the observation of an induced absorption on the high-energy side of spectral hole burning in band-to-band transitions in GaAs. This effect appears in the early stage of photoexcitation by an intense femtosecond pump pulse. This feature can be explained by edge singularities in the presence of a nonequilibrium Fermi sea.
