Time-resolved two-photon photoemission is used to directly investigate
the electron dynamics at a Cu(111) surface with 60 fs laser pulses. We
find that the time evolution of the photoexcited electron population in
the first image state can be described only by solving the optical Bloch
equations to properly account for coherence in the excitation process.
Our experiments also provide evidence that the dynamics of photoexcited
bulk electrons is strongly influenced by hot electron cascades and that
the initial relaxation rates are in agreement with Fermi liquid theory.
