“…In the experiments discussed above, the sinusoidal profile is a reasonable approximation for the carriers generated instantaneously by short pulses, either using a light interference pattern [8][9][10][11][12][13][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] or a single pulse projected through a semitransparent grating [1,15,25,26]. Although nonlinear recombination could be present in these experiments, it was commonly assumed that a sinusoidal approximation may still provide an estimation which is valid at small grating periods for obtaining the transport parameters [8-12, 16, 27].…”
