Multiple reflections: cascaded upshifting of laser pulses by semiconductors

Journal Article · · Journal of the Optical Society of America B
By studying the detailed dynamics of ultrashort pulses at semiconductor--vacuum interfaces, we have shown that the interaction of these pulses with nonstationary semiconductor plasmas can, under appropriate conditions, lead to a variety of interesting phenomena: controlled upshifting of the laser frequency, possible cascading of upshifting, a trapped pulse bouncing back and forth in the sample, and a so-called machine gun of increasingly blueshifted pulses. .
