Abstract
We theoretically study the properties of the photo-carriers created in a one-dimensional Mott insulator subject to strong AC electric fields. The time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method is used to calculate the nonlinear optical conductivity, for which a metallic, gapless mode is found to emerge. The mode has linear dispersion with a charge velocity that differs from the free electron velocity, which indicates that the photo-doped carriers behave collectively as in the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid.
