Physics is the interplay of energy and matter. Energy, in the form of light, interacting with
matter, principally in the solid state, underpins this topical review. The subject is developed …

Ultrashort terahertz pulses derived from femtosecond table-top sources have become a
valuable tool for time-resolved spectroscopy during the last two decades. Until recently, the …

Science and technologies based on terahertz frequency electromagnetic radiation (100 GHz–
30 THz) have developed rapidly over the last 30 years. For most of the 20th Century …

Broadband and efficient terahertz absorbing films are crucial to high-performance terahertz
detectors, which are in demand for next-generation wireless communications, astronomy …

The speed of writing of state-of-the-art ferromagnetic memories is physically limited by an
intrinsic gigahertz threshold. Recently, realization of memory devices based on …

In this paper, we will review both past and recent progresses in the generation, detection
and application of intense terahertz (THz) radiation. We will restrict the review to laser based …

Low-frequency currents induced by ultrashort laser-driven ionization can emit extremely
broadband, single-cycle terahertz pulses. We present a model that predicts a strong …

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 …

Terahertz and millimeter waves penetrate various dielectric materials, including plastics,
ceramics, crystals, and concrete, allowing terahertz transmission and reflection images to be …

Electrons ionized from an atom or molecule by circularly or elliptically polarized
femtosecond ω and 2 ω pulses exhibit different trajectory orientations as the relative phase …
