Abstract
Ultrashort pulses of intense, coherent, and tunable far-infrared and mid-infrared radiation, achievable with free-electron lasers and optical parametric amplifiers, provide unique opportunities to investigate low energy dynamics in solids. This paper reviews our recent experiments on bulk and quantum-confined semiconductors using such radiation. These experiments include: far-infrared spectroscopy of transient plasmas, picosecond time-resolved cyclotron resonance, terahertz sideband generation, and the dynamic Franz-Keldysh effect.
