  • Abstract
    We demonstrate the nonlinear optical effects - self-phase modulation and saturable absorption of a single-cycle THz pulse in a semiconductor. Resulting from THz-induced modulation of Drude plasma, these nonlinear optical effects, in particular, lead to self-shortening and nonlinear spectral breathing of a single-cycle THz pulse in a semiconductor.
