  Superconductivity in laser-excited correlated electron systems has attracted
considerable interest due to reports of light-induced superconducting-like
states. Here we explore the possibility of non-thermal superconducting order in
strongly interacting multi-orbital Hubbard systems, using non-equilibrium
dynamical mean field theory. We find that a staggered $\eta$-type
superconducting phase can be realized on a bipartite lattice in the high
photo-doping regime, if the effective temperature of the photo-carriers is
sufficiently low. The $\eta$ superconducting state is stabilized by Hund
coupling - a positive Hund coupling favors orbital-singlet spin-triplet $\eta$
pairing, whereas a negative Hund coupling stabilizes spin-singlet
orbital-triplet $\eta$ pairing.
