  bibo_abstract:
  - The ultrafast dynamics of photoexcitations at silicon surfaces is investigated
    using a surface-sensitive purely optical technique. In the experiments, the diffracted
    second harmonic generated by sequences of ultrashort laser pulses is detected
    as a function of the time delay between the pulses. It is demonstrated that this
    five-wave-mixing technique can be used to measure the temporal evolution of the
    optical polarization and the photoexcited populations at the surface. The experimental
    results can be reproduced by numerical solutions of optical Bloch equations. The
    theoretical analysis allows one to investigate which dephasing times and relaxation
    processes are compatible with experiment. Furthermore, it is outlined how one
    can describe optical nonlinearities at surfaces using a microscopic theory within
    the framework of semiconductor Bloch equations.@eng
