Abstract
The anisotropy of optical absorption saturation by intense linearly polarized light pulses is measured with subpicosecond resolution in GaAs at 77 K, at a photon energy slightly above the band gap. For an electron-hole pair density of about 6\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{17}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$, the momentum orientational relaxation time is determined to be 190 fs, most likely due to carrier-carrier scattering.
