Abstract
Excited carrier dynamics in GaAs and Al .2Ga .8As are investigated using femtosecond pump and continuum probe techniques. Absorption saturation measurements provide evidence for transient spectral hole burning due to split-off as well as heavy and light hole valence to conduction band transitions. The initial nonthermal carrier distribution thermalizes and assumes a broad energy distribution on a femtosecond time scale.
