Using the tilted-pump-pulse-front scheme, we generate single-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses
by optical rectification of femtosecond laser pulses in LiNbO 3⁠. In our THz generation …

Overview and Scope. THz radiation, with frequencies in the range of 0.1 À20 THz, can probe
physical phenomena such as low-energy excitations and carrier dynamics in electronic …

Intense single-cycle THz pulses resonantly interacting with molecular rotations are shown to
induce field-free orientation and alignment under ambient conditions. We calculate and …

Terahertz spectroscopy is only now beginning to make its transition from initial development
by physicists and engineers to broader use by chemists, materials scientists and biologists …

Over the past decade, breakthroughs in the generation and control of ultrafast high-field
terahertz (THz) radiation have led to new spectroscopic methodologies for the study of light …

The ferroelectric soft mode in a SrTiO 3 thin film was impulsively driven to a large amplitude
using intense picosecond terahertz pulses. As the terahertz electric field increased, the soft …

Polarization shaping of terahertz pulses enables us to manipulate the temporal evolution of
the amplitude and direction of electric-field vectors in a prescribed manner. Such arbitrary …
