We observe anisotropy between the transition rates for light linearly polarized along <100> and <110> crystallographic directions of diamond and a strong decrease (7-fold) of the transition rate for circularly polarized light. Measured results are compared with numerical simulations using time-dependent density functional theory and with an analytical model assuming a parabolic two-band system and the Houston function as the time-dependent wave function of the valence and conduction bands.}, pages = {104305-1--104305-9}, title = {Anisotropy and polarization dependence of multiphoton charge carrier generation rate in diamond}, volume = {99}, year = {2019} }
