We experimentally investigate the limits to 800 nm-to-terahertz (THz) energy conversion in lithium niobate at room temperature driven by amplified Ti:Sapphire laser pulses with tilted-pulse-front. The influence of the pump central…
Phonon-polaritons (PP) are phonon-photon coupled modes. Using near-forward Raman scattering, the PP of the cubic Zn(1-x)MgxTe (x<0.09) semiconductor alloy could be measured. While the PP-coupling hardly develops in pure ZnTe, minor…
An analytical model is developed to predict the temporal evolution of the lattice polarization in ferroelectric nanomembranes upon the excitation by a terahertz (THz) electromagnetic pulse of an arbitrary waveform, and the concurrent…
Terahertz (THz) sciences and technologies have contributed to a rapid development of a wide range of applications and expanded the frontiers in fundamental science. Spintronic terahertz emitters offer conceptual advantages since the spin…
The crystal lattice governs the emergent electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of quantum materials, making structural tuning through strain, pressure, or chemical substitution a key approach for discovering and controlling novel…
We present a Raman study of ZrAs_{2} single crystals, a nodal line semimetal with symmetry-enforced Dirac-like band crossings. We identified the symmetry of phonon modes by polarized light measurements and comparison with calculated phonon…
This paper presents an analytical study of TM-polarized surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in nonlinear multi-layer structures containing graphene sheets. In the general structure, each graphene sheet has been sandwiched between two…
Terahertz (THz) lasers provide a new research perspective for spin electronics applications due to their sub-picosecond time resolution and non-thermal ultrafast demagnetization, but the interaction between spin, charge and lattice dynamics…
A coherent THz optical lattice mode is triggered by femtosecond laser pulses in the antiferromagnetic van der Waals semiconductor FePS$_3$. The 380 nm thick exfoliated flake was placed on a substrate and laser-driven lattice and spin…
Selective excitation of coherent high-amplitude vibrations of atoms in a solid can induce exotic nonequilibrium states, in which the character of interactions between electronic, magnetic and lattice degrees of freedom is considerably…
We propose an experimental technique to generate large amplitude coherent phonons with irradiation of THz-rate pump pulses and to study the dynamics of phase transition in GeTe ferroelectrics. When a single pump pulse irradiates the sample…
We experimentally demonstrate a novel scheme for efficiently generating intense terahertz (THz) surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on a sub-wavelength-diameter meter-long metal wire. Driven by a subrelativistic femtosecond laser (a0=0.3, 3…
Structural strain severely impacts material properties such as the linear and non-linear optical response. Moreover, strain plays a key role, e.g., in the physics of ferroelectrics and in particular of their domain walls. $\mu$-Raman…
Van der Waals ferroelectrics are conventionally switched by sliding the different layers between stacking orders with opposing electric polarizations. Ultrashort laser pulses have been proposed to launch shear modes and induce switching,…
We report on the observation of terahertz radiation in a non-centrosymmetric insulating oxide, paratellurite ($\alpha$-TeO$_2$) by irradiation of a femtosecond laser pulse at room temperature. In the power spectrum of the terahertz…
Graphene's exceptional nonlinear optical properties combined with resonant photonic structures offer a promising pathway for efficient nonlinear applications at terahertz (THz) frequencies. In this work, we propose and demonstrate a…
ZnTe is arguably the most widely used nonlinear crystal for the generation and detection of THz radiation, used in conjunction with sub-bandgap optical excitation by femtosecond lasers operating near 800 nm. The THz dielectric function of…
Terahertz (THz) electromagnetic radiation is key to optically access collective excitations such as magnons (spins), plasmons (electrons), or phonons (atomic vibrations), thus bridging between optics and solid-state physics. Confinement of…
Electronic Raman scattering and optical phonon self-energies are studied on single crystals of $LuB_{12}$ with different isotopic composition in the temperature region 10-650K and at pressures up to 10 GPa. The shape and energy position of…
Graphene is a two-dimensional layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice, whose outstanding properties makes it an excellent material for future electronic and photonic terahertz (THz) devices. In this work, we design hybrid…
