摘要
Topological insulators are characterized by the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) on the topological surface states under time-reversal symmetry breaking. Motivated by recent experiments on the magneto-optical effects induced by the QAHE, we develop a theory for the dynamical Hall conductivity for subgap optical frequency and intense optical fields using the Keldysh-Floquet Green's function formalism. Our theory reveals a nonlinear regime in which the Hall conductivity remains close to e(2)/2h at low frequencies. At higher optical fields, we find that the subsequent collapse of the half quantization is accompanied by coherent oscillations of the dynamical Hall conductivity as a function of field strength, triggered by the formation of Floquet subbands and the concomitant intersubband transitions.
