Although Gigahertz-scale free-carrier modulators have been previously demonstrated in silicon, intensity modulators operating at Terahertz speeds have not been reported because of silicon's weak ultrafast optical nonlinearity. We have…
With ever increasing availability of terahertz fields, it is important to find suitable detection techniques without compromising the measured dynamic range. Electro-optic terahertz sampling techniques, which are commonly used to detect…
Optically heterodyned detected terahertz Kerr effect of gases of polar molecules is reported. Strikingly, the birefringence signal from fluoroform is found to have opposite polarity compared to water and acetonitrile. This behavior is a…
We have observed short-lived optical birefringence in a CH$_3$NH$_3$PbBr$_3$ single crystal induced by a powerful nearly single-cycle terahertz pulse. Apart from the instantaneous contribution that follows the profile of the squared pump…
Rotation of polarization of light on transmission and reflection at materials with time-reversal breaking (Faraday and Kerr effects, respectively) have been studied for over a hundred years. We add to such phenomena by studying optical…
Ordered states of matter are typically categorized by their broken symmetries. With the ordering of spins in a ferromagnet or the freezing of a liquid into a solid, the loss of symmetry distinguishes the ordered state from the disordered…
We report the coherent generation and detection of terahertz (THz) pulses covering the bandwidth of 0.1-9 THz in a high repetition rate, low pulse energy laser system. In this work we demonstrate the application and evaluation of…
Measuring terahertz waveforms in terahertz spectroscopy often relies on electrooptic sampling employing a ZnTe crystal. Although the nonlinearities in such zincblende semiconductors induced by intense terahertz pulses have been studied at…
The Teraherz (THz) photoresponse of a two-dimensional electron gas in the quantum Hall regime is investigated. We use a sample structure which is topologically equivalent to a Corbino geometry combined with a cross-gate technique. This…
Zero and longitudinal field muon spin rotation (muSR) experiments were performed on the superconductors PrPt4Ge12 and LaPt4Ge12. In PrPt4Ge12 below Tc a spontaneous magnetization with a temperature variation resembling that of the…
Terahertz emission spectroscopy of ultrathin multilayers of magnetic and heavy metals has recently attracted much interest. This method not only provides fundamental insights into photoinduced spin transport and spin-orbit interaction at…
Topological superconductivity is a long-sought state of matter in bulk materials, and odd-parity superconductor UTe$_2$ is a prime candidate. The recent observation of a field-trainable spontaneous Kerr signal in UTe$_2$ at the onset of…
Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$Te has been shown to be an interesting tunable topological crystalline insulator system. We present a magneto-terahertz spectroscopic study of thin films of Pb$_{0.5}$Sn$_{0.5}$Te. The complex Faraday rotation angle and…
The generation of controlled and arbitrarily tunable terahertz radiation, essential for many applications, has proven challenging due to the complexity of experimental setups and fabrication techniques. We introduce a new strategy involving…
We have built a Terahertz Dispersive Fourier Transform Spectrometer \cite{Birch1987} to study frequency properties of superconducting films used for fabrication of THz detectors. The signal reflected from the tested film is measured in time…
High-temperature superconductors (high-Tc SCs) host a rich landscape of electronic phases encompassing the pseudogap, strange metal, superconducting, antiferromagnetic insulating, and Fermi-liquid regimes. The superconducting phase is…
Re-based superconductors provide a rich platform for the study of unconventional superconductivity. We have investigated the superconducting properties of Re$_{8}$NbTa, a new noncentrosymmetric cubic ($\alpha$-Mn structure) rhenium-based…
We report the discovery of Zr$_3$Ir as a new type of unconventional noncentrosymmetric superconductor (with $T_c = 2.3$ K), here investigated mostly via muon-spin rotation/relaxation ($\mu$SR) techniques. Its superconductivity was…
On-demand polarization control of electromagnetic waves is the fundamental element of modern optics. Its interest has recently been expanded in the terahertz (THz) range for coherent excitation of collective quasiparticles in matters,…
Arising from modulation instability, Turing rolls in optical Kerr microresonators have been used in the generation of optical frequency combs and the synthesis of microwave and terahertz frequencies. In this work, by applying electro-optic…
