Abstract: We investigate double Bloch bands driven by a square-wave electric field with a tight-binding model. Using Fourier analysis, we analytically obtain resonance conditions of Rabi oscillation and Rabi frequency in the weak-coupling limit. The results are verified by numerical evolution of electrons.

Key words: Rabi oscillation, quasi-energy, square-wave electric field
