Abstract
study the dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect by subjecting a semiconductor quan tum well to both a strong THz-frequency driving held and a weak broadband o ptical pulse. Coulombic effects and the THz field are included nonperturbat ively. Our results shaw THz sidebands in the optical absorption spectrum an d harmonically generated subpicosecond bursts of radiation in the THz regim e; The propagating wave packets are simultaneously analyzed and application s are discussed.
