Abstract
We demonstrate coherent generation and control of electrical currents in low-temperature-grown GaAs at 300 K using three phase-related, 150 fs pulses derived from a parametric process. Interference between single photon (0.8 μm) and nondegenerate two photon (1.4 and 1.8 μm) absorption amplitudes generates ballistic electrical currents whose beam polarization dependence is in agreement with a simple Fermi’s golden rule calculation.Keywords
