Dynamic band gap renormalization in Cu2O studied on a µeV scale — •Giorgio Baldassarri Höger von Högersthal1, Gregor Dasbach1, Dietmar Fröhlich1, Heinrich Stolz2, Manfred Bayer1, Robert Klieber1, and Dieter Suter11Institut für Physik, Universität Dortmund, D-44221, Germany — 2Fachbereich Physik, Universität Rostock, D-18051, Germany

Owing to the large exciton binding energy and the long radiative lifetime, cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is considered a prototype material for the study of excitons. Especially the quadrupole allowed lowest yellow exciton transition has always attracted much interest. This state has been recently investigated with ultra-high spectral resolution using a tunable single frequency dye laser, revealing extremely sharp exciton linewidths of < 1 µeV [1]. Here we investigate this system in the high density regime. Using pulsed excitation we get access to dynamic line shifts on a sub µeV energy scale and a ms time scale. The experiments show dynamic red shifts of the exciton transition as the excitation power is increased. These findings are explained by an absorption induced renormalization of the band gap.
