The interplay of strong disorder and superconductivity is a topic of long-term interest in condensed matter physics. Here we explore the nonlinear THz response of superconducting NbN films close to the 3D metal-insulator transition. For the…
Superconducting thin-films are central to the operation of many kinds of quantum sensors and quantum computing devices: Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs), Travelling-Wave Parametric Amplifiers (TWPAs), Qubits, and Spin-based Quantum…
The basic theory of the linear and nonlinear ac susceptibilities of type-II superconductors is outlined for various geometries, e.g. circular and elliptic disks, rings, and strips of thin films or of thicker platelets in a perpendicular…
Despite several efforts the nonlinear Meissner effect in d-wave superconductors, as has been discussed by Yip and Sauls in 1992, has not been verified experimentally in high-Tc superconductors at present. Here, we reinvestigate the…
It is demonstrated that the non-instantaneous response of the optically induced coherent polarization tremendously influences the real-space shift of electronic charges in semiconductors. The possibility to coherently control this…
We present an experimental and computational study of the nonlinear optical response of conduction electrons to intense terahertz (THz) electric field. Our observations (saturable absorption and an amplitude-dependent group refractive…
We propose a concept of a superconducting photodiode - a device that transforms the energy and `spin' of an external electromagnetic field into the rectified steady-state supercurrent and develop a microscopic theory describing its…
This work focuses on the development and demonstration of tunable superconducting on-chip resonator, leveraging the intrinsic current-dependent non-linear kinetic inductance of superconducting aluminium, and investigating the effect of…
Strong Coulomb interaction in monolayer semiconductors allows them to host optically active large many-body states, such as the five-particle state, charged biexciton. Strong nonlinear light absorption by the charged biexciton under…
The polarization dependence of the low field microwave photoconductivity and absorption of a two-dimensional electron system has been investigated in a quasi-optical setup in which linear and any circular polarization can be produced…
We present a detailed theoretical investigation of the linear and non-linear optical response in a model system for a disordered d-wave superconductor, showing that for both quantities the gap symmetry considerably changes the paradigm of…
Photodetector based on two-dimensional (2D) materials is an ongoing quest in optoelectronics. These 2D photodetectors are generally efficient at low illuminating power but suffer severe recombination processes at high power, which results…
The effects of microwave radiation on the transport properties of atomically thin $La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4$ films were studied in the 0.1-13 GHz frequency range. Resistance changes induced by microwaves were investigated at different temperatures…
We theoretically investigate the response of a superconducting film to line currents flowing in linear wires placed above the film, and we present analytic expressions for the magnetic-field and current distributions based on the critical…
Spectroscopic identification of distinct nonlinear photocurrents unveils quantum geometric properties of electron wavefunctions and the momentum-space topological structures. This is especially interesting, but still puzzling, for chiral…
At the first glance, the expression "transparent superconductor" may seem an oxymoron. Still, the first principle calculations and experiments show that the materials that behave as superconductors at low frequencies and do not absorb in…
Ultrafast photon-assisted tunneling is shown to lead to large nonlinear dynamic currents that can be used to generate dc rectified current as well as higher order harmonic response from a metasurface-coupled tunnel diode. This artificial…
Nanosecond near resonant excitation in As50S50 thin films leads to strong nonlinear optical response, i.e. nonlinear absorption coefficient up to 4 x 106 cm/GW and nonlinear refractive index of 8.5 cm2/GW, both of which is the strongest…
We have grown superconducting TiN films by atomic layer deposition with thicknesses ranging from 6 to 89 nm. This deposition method allows us to tune the resistivity and critical temperature by controlling the film thickness. The microwave…
Active control of optical nonlinearity is essential for advancing next-generation electronics and photonics, including high-speed wireless communications, optical information processing, and nonlinear signal manipulation. However, achieving…
