Abstract

Abstract The ultrafast relaxation of photoexcited carriers in thin films of exfoliated highly ordered pyrolytic graphite are examined using the equal-pulse correlation technique. An extremely fast relaxation due to intraband carrier–carrier thermalization was observed at 15 ± 10 fs followed by intraband carrier–optical phonon interaction on the order of 175 ± 30 fs. A modulation in the absorption depth of 1.4% was observed in the samples from partial saturation due to Pauli blocking.
