Abstract
After optical pumping, strong single cycle THz pulses are used to probe and manipulate excitons in bulk germanium. For strong THz fields a significant broadening and bleaching of the 1s–2p THz absorption peak is observed. The experimental results are analyzed using a microscopic many-body theory attributing the observations to a shortening of the excitonic state lifetime and eventual exciton ionization. Simultaneously, the ac THz Stark effect leads to a shift in the 1s–2p transition energy.
