Abstract

The thermalization dynamics of a laser-induced nonequilibrium electron distribution was studied using femtosecond photoemission techniques. An intense pump pulse first excites electrons in gold into a highly nonequilibrium distribution that involves the excitation of a certain number of electrons distributed. The results showed that the transient change of nonlinear susceptibility directly reveals the dynamics of electron thermalization process.
