Abstract
The transient absorption bleaching and velocity overshoot of photoexcited carriers in GaAs and Si have been observed by the intense few-circle terahertz (THz) probe pulse in the optical pump-terahertz probe (OPTP) configuration. The free-carrier THz nonlinearity is attributed to the transient electron redistribution in conduction band induced by the strong THz electric field component.
