The description of the nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor surfaces is discussed via two examples. First, a microscopic approach, which uses quasiparticle wavefunctions and dispersions obtained from ab-initio band-structure theory as an input for Bloch equations [1], is presented. Using this method, excitonic effects in the linear absorption spectra of the Si(111)-(2×1) surface are obtained and light-intensity-dependent absorption changes of the surface exciton are predicted.
Second, experiments studying the coherent optically induced dynamics at a Si(001) surface via a five-wave mixing set-up using three ultrashort laser pulses are analyzed using optical Bloch equations. The measurements show an unexpected slow rise of the signal intensity as function of a particular pulse delay which extends well beyond the pulse duration [2]. This response can be described by considering rapid scattering of the photoexcited carriers to other states.
