Terahertz nonlinear and coherent effects in semiconductor nanostructures


Terahertz nonlinear and coherent effects in semiconductor nanostructures

Helm, M.

The Autler-Townes effect (Rabi splitting) is observed in semiconductor quantum wells, when pumping the intra-excitonic 1s-2p transition with a THz free-electron laser. In a second experiment using time-domain spectroscopy, it is shown that the THz intersubband polarization in a quantum well can be coherently manipulated using a second, phase-locked THz pulse.
