Terahertz near fields of gold metamaterials resonant at a frequency of $0.88\,\rm THz$ allow us to enter an extreme limit of non-perturbative ultrafast THz electronics: Fields reaching a ponderomotive energy in the keV range are exploited…

Graphene is conceivably the most nonlinear optoelectronic material. Its nonlinear optical coefficients in the terahertz (THz) frequency range surpass those of other materials by many orders of magnitude. This, in particular, allows one to…

Taking into account both the scattering and the velocity saturation of carriers, we examine the "shallow-water" instability of the two-dimensional electron gas in a field effect transistor. It is shown that both the scattering (which is…
