Intensity dependence of charge and spin currents generated by ultrafast two-color photoexcitation*of semiconductor quantum wellsBernhard Pasenow1, Huynh Thanh Duc2,1, •Torsten Meier3,1, and Stephan W.

Charge and spin currents that are generated on ultrafast time scales by two-color laser excitation of semiconductor quantum wells are computed using Bloch equations that formulated in the basis of k · p wave functions [1,2]. The optically induced inter- and intraband excitations are both treated nonperturbatively providing a consistent description of phototransport effects in the high-excitation regime. The analysis shows that the photoexcited charge and spin currents depend on the amplitudes of the incident ω and 2ω beams in a highly nonlinear fashion. It is predicted that Rabi flopping leads to intensity-dependent changes of the current directions [3].
