Recent studies on ultrafast dynamics of solids and nanostructures using few-cycle electromagnetic transients in the far and mid infrared spectral regions are presented. We are able to excite with phase-locked wave forms reaching peak amplitudes beyond 1 V/Aring which are comparable to inner-atomic fields.

Abstract

Recent studies on ultrafast dynamics of solids and nanostructures using few-cycle electromagnetic transients in the far and mid infrared spectral regions are presented. We are able to excite with phase-locked wave forms reaching peak amplitudes beyond 1 V/Aring which are comparable to inner-atomic fields. At the same time, a quantum-limited sensitivity is approached in electro-optic detection. Such capabilities are promising a completely new access to the quantum properties of both condensed matter and light.
