According to Floquet theory, the coherent interaction between Bloch states and strong photon fields generates side bands of the unperturbed band structure with the possibility to induce topological phase transitions when time reversal symmetry is broken with circularly polarized light[1]. The effect has been observed in Bi2Se3 using tr-ARPES[2]. There are predictions for related phase transitions in graphene[1] and transition metal dichalcogenides[3].
We present evidence for the generation of photon-dressed states in graphene and WSe2 using tr-ARPES at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths. We discuss the key requirements for the experimental observation of these states, including the suppression of coherent interactions between the pump field and the photo-emitted electrons and a careful tuning of pump wavelength as well as pump and probe pulse durations.
