    Ultrafast two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy of elementary excitations in solids
    (Bristol : IOP, 2013) Woerner, M.; Kuehn, W.; Bowlan, P.; Reimann, K.; Elsaesser, T.
    Recent experimental progress has allowed for the implementation of nonlinear two-dimensional (2D) terahertz (THz) spectroscopy in the ultrafast time domain. We discuss the principles of this technique based on multiple phase-locked electric field transients interacting in a collinear geometry with a solid and the phase-resolved detection of the THz fields after interaction with the sample. To illustrate the potential of this new method, 2D correlation spectra of coupled intersubband-longitudinal optical phonon excitations in a double quantum well system and a study of ultrafast carrier dynamics in graphene are presented.

    Focus on nonlinear terahertz studies
    (Bristol : IOP, 2014) Leitenstorfer, A.; Nelson, K.A.; Reimann, K.; Tanaka, K.
    Resulting from the availability of improved sources, research in the terahertz (THz) spectral range has increased dramatically over the last decade, leading essentially to the disappearance of the so-called 'THz gap'. While most work to date has been carried out with THz radiation of low field amplitude, a growing number of experiments are using THz radiation with large electric and magnetic fields that induce nonlinearities in the system under study. This 'focus on' collection contains a number of articles, both experimental and theoretical, in the new subfield of THz nonlinear optics and spectroscopy on various systems, among them molecular gases, superconductors, semiconductors, antiferromagnets and graphene.
