We apply a time‐resolved reflection ellipsometric technique to study the dynamic properties of the surface dielectric index of GaAs after optical excitation. The technique allows the separation of the refractive and absorptive components of the dielectric index change and accounts for possible anisotropic effects. The carriers optically injected at the surface create electric field perturbations of ∼7 kV/cm for an average carrier density of ∼1018 cm−3 over a depth of ∼0.25 μm. The measured absorptive component change is shown to be qualitatively different from that typically measured via thin‐film transmission and can be attributed to the Franz–Keldysh effect.
