where the formation of composite bosons from Cooper pairing between fermionic spin-
particles becomes observable through changes in the amplitude and distribution of the
harmonics. This enables an all-optical probe technique, which we employ to measure
transitions between quantum phases of the unconventional high-Tc superconductor
YBa2Cu3O7−d (YBCO) [3]. The measurement is performed with a mid-infrared OPCPA …
