Zinc Oxide is a wide bandgap semiconductor considered for applications in electronics and optoelectronics devices. Its wide bandgap allows high power operation at high temperature; therefore, studies about its electron distribution at non-equilibrium values are crucial for the design of such device. Our work was done by pump-probe ellipsometry, a technique that allows the distinction between real and imaginary part of the dielectric function. We observed bleaching of the excitonic absorption at the band edge, and occurrence of intra-valence-band absorption during the very first picoseconds. Electron-phonon scattering causes thermalization, which creates non-thermal phonon distributions delaying the charge relaxation to tens of picosecond. The final heat dissipation happens in the scale of nanoseconds.
