Abstract
The influence of strong electric fields on electronic properties of semiconductors is of particular interest both for fundamental science and applications in high speed electronics. Investigations using large quasi-static [1] and THz [2] fields have been performed. However, the accessible field amplitudes have been limited to values typically below 1 MV/cm due to the dielectric breakdown under stationary bias and the availability of intense phase-stable THz sources, respectively.
