On Rabi oscillations between Bloch bands
Patrick Plötz Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany
Abstract:
We study Rabi oscillations between the bands of an arbitrary biased two-band tight-binding model. We reduce the problem to an equation of Whittaker–Hill type and, in absence of any known solutions in closed form, discuss different approximations to describe the oscillations between the Bloch bands. We identify regimes of weak and strong inter-band coupling and compare predictions for these Rabi oscillations to numerical results.
Keywords:
Bloch oscillations, Landau-Zener tunneling, resonant tunneling, multiphoton process.
