Abstract
Ultrafast optical techniques have now been used for more than a decade to provide a unique probe on nonequilibrium phenomena in semiconductor materials. The success of such techniques in this area rests primarily on the fact that optical interactions with unbound charge carriers in semiconductor crystals depend strongly on the distribution functions or state occupancies of these carriers, which is a sensitive probe of nonequilibrium behavior.
