- This paper reviews the status of investigations of the relativistic Doppler reflectionof a broadband terahertz pulse at a counter-propagating plasma front of photo-excited chargecarriers in undoped silicon. When a THz pulse with 20-THz bandwidth impinges onto amoving plasma front with a carrier density in the range of 1019 per cm3, one observes a spectralup-shift, which is, however, much less pronounced than expected from simulations assuming a Drude plasma characterized by a single carrier relaxation time τ of the order of 15-100 fs.Qualitative agreement between simulations and experiments can be achieved if τ is chosen tobe less than 5 fs. In order to explore carrier relaxation in more detail, optical-pump/THz-probeexperiments in the conventional co-propagation geometry were performed. If the pump-probedelay is long enough for monitoring of the equilibrium value of the scattering time, τ rangesfrom 200 fs at low carrier density to 20 fs in the 1019-cm-3 density range. For small (subpicosecond)pump-probe delay, the data reveal a significantly faster scattering, which slowsdown during energy relaxation of the charge carriers.
