| Popis: | We present a comprehensive formalism for calculating the linear and nonlinear optical response of time-periodic (Floquet) quantum systems. Our approach, based on density matrix evolution in the Floquet basis, employs the length gauge and incorporates both intraband and interband contributions of the position operator. This formalism enables the interpretation of optical responses in terms of photon-assisted transitions and reveals a unique, divergent AC response to DC fields in Floquet systems, analogous to a Drude peak at finite frequency. Importantly, our method generalizes to optical tensor conductivity calculations at arbitrary perturbation orders, providing a powerful tool for analyzing driven quantum systems. Additionally, this approach captures various DC photocurrents, including shift current, injection current, gyration current, Berry dipole contributions, and intrinsic Fermi surface effects in certain limits.
