By exciting semiconductors with ultra-short laser pulses and studying the non-equilibrium material, information about the band structure and the dynamics of the generation and relaxation of carriers can be obtained. Time-resolved ellipsometry allows the measurements of changes in the dielectric function of solid state materials in the femtosecond time-scale. In semiconductors, these changes can be assigned to several ultrafast processes such as carrier generation, band gap renormalization, Burstein-Moss shift, carrier-phonon scattering, carrier-carrier scattering, and phase filing singularities. This work presents recent results on femtosecond transient dielectric spectra of undoped Germanium at room temperature. The carriers were generated by the excitation with a 1.55 eV laser beam. The predicted Fermi singularity (Xu et al., Phys.Rev.Lett.118, 2017, 267402) was observed lasting a few picosenconds.
