contents Doublon-holon dynamics is investigated in a pumped one-dimensional Hubbard model with a staggered on?site Coulomb interaction at half-filling. When the system parameters are set to be in the Mott insulating regime the equilibrium sublattice density of states exhibits several characteristic peaks, corresponding to the lower and upper Hubbard bands as well as hybridization bands. We study the linear absorption spectrum and find two main peaks characterizing the photon frequencies which excite the ground state to an excited state. For a system driven by a laser pulse with general intensity and frequency, both the energy absorption and the doublon-holon dynamics exhibit distinct behaviors as a function of laser amplitude and frequency. Single-photon processes are observed at low laser intensity where the energy is absorbed for resonance laser frequencies. For strong laser intensity multi-photon induced dynamics are observed in the system, which are confirmed by an evaluation of the Loschmidt amplitude. The contribution of multi-photon processes to site-specific double occupancy is also characterized by the generalized Loschmidt amplitude. The site-selective doublon-holon dynamics are observed in both the one and multi-photon processes and the site-selective behavior is explained within a quasiparticle picture. Our study suggests strategies to optically engineer the doublon-holon dynamics in one dimensional strongly correlated many-body systems.
