Abstract

We have measured the picosecond transient carrier response of InGaMnAs/InP by two-color pump–probe spectroscopy, using an intense near-infrared beam as the pump and a 52.5 μm (5.7 THz) beam as the probe. We observed strongly nonexponential decays, especially at high pump fluences and low temperatures, where a pronounced dip developed in the terahertz differential transmission. This dip disappeared at the highest fluence where a transmission plateau versus time delay was observed. Our band structure calculations suggest that this intriguing behavior may be due to carrier dynamics associated with Γ–L intervalley scattering that becomes efficient when ferromagnetism modifies the band structure.
