  • Abstract
    Picosecond laser-produced plasmas in silicon attain carrier densities of about 1021/cm3and temperatures of up to the melting point of about 1700 K. The optical data indicate only a slight increase of about 20 percent in the optical effective mass from the value at low density and room temperature. A simple model calculation is presented which confirms this behavior.
