Floquet theory is a well-established approach to describe time-dependent quantum systems driven by a periodic external field. In the presence of such a driving, the spectrum of the system is described by replicas of the original dispersion, shifted by integers of the driving frequency [1]. Using the Floquet formalism, this work studies the emergence of the Floquet structure in the energy spectrum of Dirac Hamiltonians subject to short pulses in order to understand the limits of this formalism as well as to interpret recent results of subcycle lightwave-ARPES [2].
