For linearly polarized excitations, the photocurrents contain contributions from shift and rectification currents. We numerically compute and analyze these currents generated by excitation with femtosecond laser pulses for [110]- and [111]-oriented GaAs quantum wells.

In particular, we find a complex oscillatory photon energy dependence of the magnitudes of the shift and rectification currents. Our simulations demonstrate that this dependence is the result of mixing between the heavy- and light-hole valence bands. This is a surprising finding since the band mixing has an even larger influence on the strength of the photocurrents than the absorption coefficient.

These are 2D dipoles and quadrupoles, and 3D octupoles, as well as vortex–antivortex pairs and quadruplets. Unlike other multidimensional models, where such complex bound states either do not exist or are subject to strong instabilities, these modes are remarkably robust in the present setting. The results are obtained by means of numerical methods and analytically, using the Thomas–Fermi approximation.

We exploit controlled (multi-)terahertz waveforms with peak fields of 72 MV cm−1 to drive coherent interband polarization combined with dynamical Bloch oscillations in semiconducting gallium selenide. These dynamics entail the emission of phase-stable high-harmonic transients, covering the entire terahertz-to-visible spectral domain between 0.1 and 675 THz.
