An occurrence of the current of the shift linear photovoltaic effect under two-photon absorption of light in semiconductors without a center of symmetry with a complex band structure is theoretically analyzed. The contributions both from the simultaneous absorption of two photons and successive absorption of two single photons to the photocurrent are taken into account.
