Abstract

The influence of scattering and plasmon coupling on temporal and spatial dynamics of Bloch oscillations in a semiconductor superlattice is investigated using optical techniques. The oscillations axe strongly modified due to the scattering processes: The dependence of amplitude on k-space composition of the wave packet is modified due to a renormalization of the energy scale. For higher carrier densities, plasmon coupling causes anharmonic Bloch oscillations.
