摘要：
A microscopic many-body theory is presented which allows one to compute the linear and nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor superlattices in the presence of static and time-dependent electric fields applied in the growth direction. For static fields the Bloch-oscillation dynamics, the role of Coulomb effects, carrier relaxation, phonon scattering, and inter- and intraband polarization dephasing is analyzed. The observability of dynamic localization using optical spectroscopy is discussed for alternating applied fields.
