Abstract

A nondegenerate pump-probe scheme was used to isolate the electron dynamics: the pump pulse excites electrons from the heavy-hole (HH) and light-hole (LH) valence bands while the probe pulse tests the absorption saturation of the interband from the split-off (SO) valence band to the conduction band C. A Ti:sapphire modelocked oscillator and regenerative amplifier system and spectral continuum generation for the pulse probe was used. The sample was an intrinsic GaAs layer, antireflection coated on both sides and held at 15 K. The differential absorption spectra showed to broad peaks at about 1913 and 1950 meV resulting from spectral hole burning.
