Abstract
The effects of photoexcitation on the dynamics of the CDW in K 0.3MoO 3 are demonstrated. A light illumination causes a relaxation of the CDW phase strain, which can be utilized to instantly prepare the stress-relieved phase configuration as a well-defined initial condition for each measurement. This was clearly observed in the optical modification of the time evolution of sliding threshold voltage and in the amount of conduction delay time after the step voltage application.
