Rabi oscillations between Bloch bands beyond weak interband coupling regime

Interminiband Rabi oscillations in biased semiconductor superlattices

“…The phenomenon of interminiband Rabi oscillations in SC SL is also known in the literature as excitonic Rabi oscillations, Rabi flopping, periodic population swapping, field-induced delocalization, oscillatory dipole, interwell oscillations and Bloch-Zener oscillations. Previous investigations [10,11,12] have covered many aspects of Rabi oscillations in SC systems since their first experimental observation in the early 1990's, by the laser pump-and-probe technique [13]. In experiment, Rabi oscillations occur as oscillating charge density dipoles that have been observed both at low [14] and room [13] temperatures.…”
