In the world of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials, the plasma is unique for its natural ENZ properties at the plasma frequency (wp). However, for the air plasma during femtosecond laser filamentation with wp in terahertz (THz) band, which…
Dynamic optical metasurfaces with ultrafast temporal response, i.e., spatiotemporal optical metasurfaces, provide attractive solutions and open fascinating perspectives for modern highly integrated optics and photonics. In this work,…
Low-index transparent conducting oxides have attracted significant attention because ultrafast optical excitation in these materials can induce exceptionally large temporal index gradients. Due to this remarkable nonlinear optical…
Measuring transient optical field is pivotal not only for understanding ultrafast phenomena but also for quantitative detection of various molecular species in a sample. In this work, we demonstrate near-petahertz electric field detection…

High-power, continuously tunable narrowband terahertz (THz) sources are essential for advancing nonlinear optics, THz-driven material dynamics, and ultrafast spectroscopy. Conventional techniques typically impose a trade-off between pulse…
