Abstract

Using high-sensitivity visible-pump/THz-probe spectroscopy we investigate the dynamics of the complex optical conductivity, σ(ω)= σ₁(ω)+iσ₂(ω), in optimally-doped Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+δ films directly after photoexcitation. The photoinduced change in the imaginary part Δσ₂, indicative of a reduction in the superconducting condensate density, saturates at higher laser-fluences and shows a complete destruction of the condensate.
