Light-field-driven currents have already been investigated in graphene by ultrashort laser pulses. In the strong-field regime, the electric field directly generates such photocurrents on a time scale of femtoseconds, whereas in the weak-field regime other photogeneration processes like the photo-thermoelectric effect dominate [1]. The different photocurrents are not limited to graphene but are also predicted for transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers. We report on femtosecond-pulse driven photocurrents in monolayer TMDC samples.
