Intrinsic Fermi-surface contribution to the bulk photovoltaic effect

We study the Fermi surface contribution to the nonlinear DC photocurrent at quadratic order in a spatially uniform optical field in the ultraclean limit. In addition to shift and injection current, we find that polarized light incident on a metallic system generates an intrinsic contribution to the...
