Transient four-wave-mixing (FWM) is demonstrated to occur in bulk semiconductors when excited by two spatiotemporally overlapping strongly off-resonant pulses. This χ(3)-process can be analyzed theoretically by means of the semiconductor Bloch equations including inter- and intraband excitations [1]. As a result of the interference of different excitation pathways, characteristic multi-peak structures may appear in the FWM spectra. The spectra are also significantly broadened compared to the width of the incident pulses. These theoretical findings are qualitatively confirmed by spectrally-resolved FWM experiments on bulk CdTe and bulk GaAs samples with excitation wavelengths near half the band gap.
