Abstract
We study the role of spin correlations in nonlinear absorption due to transitions from a deep impurity level to states above a Fermi sea. We demonstrate that the Hubbard repulsion between two electrons at the impurity leads to a logarithmic divergence in chi(3) at the absorption threshold. This divergence is a manifestation of the Kondo physics in the nonlinear optical response of Fermi sea systems. We also show that, for off-resonant pump excitation, the pump-probe spectrum exhibits a narrow peak below the linear absorption onset. Remarkably, the light-induced Kondo temperature, which governs the shape of the Kondo-absorption spectrum, can be tuned by varying the intensity and frequency of the pump.
