The dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect in the deep ultraviolet probed by transient absorption and dispersion of diamond using a miniature beamline
Abstract
The deep ultraviolet, the bandgap region of dielectrics, is not readily accessible for established methods of ultrafast spectroscopy. Here, a miniature beamline, where a tailored deep ultraviolet field is used immediately after the noncollinear generation without subsequent optical elements, is introduced for transient absorption and dispersion spectroscopy. The near-bandgap region of diamond in the presence of a few-femtosecond pump pulse is explored where the delayed dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect and the almost instantaneous optical Kerr effect coexist.
