Ultrafast gigantic photo-response in (EDO-TTF)(2)PF6 initiated by 10-fs laser pulses

We photo-excited a charge-ordered organic salt (EDO-TTF)(2)PF6 with sub- 10-fs optical pulses. The photo-induced metallic phase appeared within 80-fs after pumping, characterized by large changes in reflectivity (Delta R/R similar to 0.8) followed by strong coherent phonon modulation.
