Abstract
It is shown that the interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with nonstation ary semiconductor plasmas can, under appropriate conditions, lead to a vari ety of interesting phenomena including controlled upshifting of the laser f requency, leading to the possibility of tunable lasers in a wide range of f requencies, and trapping (nonpropagation) of a substantial part of the inci dent pulse.
