Polarization-induced phase shift of ultrafast photocurrents
Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Bundesallee 100, D-38116 Braunschweig, Germany
Shift and injection currents are known to occur for linearly and circularly polarized optical excitations of semiconductors, respectively. Here, we show with room-temperature experiments that for excitation of discrete transitions the frequency dynamics of the coherent polarization changes this phase rule significantly.
