Dynamical Birefringence: Electron-Hole Recollisions as Probes of Berry Curvature

The direct measurement of Berry phases is still a great challenge in condensed-matter systems. The bottleneck has been the ability to adiabatically drive an electron coherently across a large portion of the Brillouin zone in a solid where the scattering is strong and complicated. We break through th...
