Abstract
The effect of Coulomb attraction between a photoexcited electron-hole pair on femtosecond pump - continuum probe nonlinear absorption for above-band-gap photoexcitation is discussed. It is shown that in pump-continuum probe experiments the enhancement of the optical matrix element resulting from the Coulomb interaction is strongest near the band gap for the split-off transition and explains the experimentally observed large change in absorption at 1.78 eV. The enhancement factor summed over all transitions must be included to correctly match the experimental results
