Quantum Interference Control of Photocurrents in Semiconductors by Nonlinear Optical Absorption Processes

Abstract

We report experiments demonstrating Quantum Interference Control (QuIC) based on two nonlinear optical absorption processes in semiconductors. We use two optical beams of frequencies ω and 3ω /2 incident on AlGaAs and measure the injection current due to the interference between 2- and 3-photon absorption processes. We analyze the dependence of the injection current on the intensities and phases of the incident fields.
