The ballistic contribution to the current of linear photovoltaic effect under two-photon absorption of light is calculated and theoretically analyzed for the semiconductors of a tetrahedral symmetry with a complex band structure consisting of two closely spaced subbands. The transitions between the branches of one band in cases of the simultaneous absorption of two photons and successive absorption of two single photons are taken into account.
