Photoinduced order parameter dynamics in a BCS superconductor NbN

We present the first studies of the time-evolution of the superconducting order parameter in a conventional BCS superconductor NbN with sub-picosecond time-resolution. Utilizing time-resolved optical pump-Terahertz probe spectroscopy we were able to investigate order parameter dynamics in the weak perturbation regime as well as the photoinduced superconducting-normal phase transition.
