Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Terahertz (THz) radiation with frequencies between 100 GHz and 30 THz has numerous applications in basic science, materials characterization, imaging, sensor technologies, and telecommunications. Recent progress in THz generation has provided ultrashort THz pulses with electric field amplitudes of up to several megavolts/cm. This development has opened the research field of nonlinear THz spectroscopy in which strong light-matter interactions are exploited to induce quantum excitations and/or charge transport and follow their nonequilibrium dynamics in time-resolved experiments. This book introduces the basic concepts of light-matter interactions and nonlinear optics, discusses methods of THz generation and nonlinear THz spectroscopy, and presents prototypical experimental and theoretical results in condensed matter physics and chemistry. Each chapter includes an overview of recent literature.

Key Features:

Introduces methods of THz generation and nonlinear THz spectroscopy in a tutorial way

Discusses the relevant theoretical concepts

Presents prototypical, experimental, and theoretical results in condensed matter physics.

Illustrates the potential of nonlinear THz spectroscopy by recent research, including an overview of the relevant literature.

Includes a new chapter with insight into basic molecular phenomena.

Thomas Elsaesser is a director emeritus at the Max-Born-Institute, Berlin, Germany, and a retired full professor for experimental physics at Humboldt University, Berlin. His research has focused on ultrafast phenomena in condensed matter, including (bio)molecular systems, inorganic solids, and nanostructures. Klaus Reimann was from 1999 to 2024 a scientist at the Max-Born-Institute, Berlin, Germany, in the field of ultrafast mid-infrared and THz spectroscopy. Before this he worked in the field of semiconductors under high pressures. Michael Woerner is a department head at the Max-Born-Institute, Berlin, Germany, and holds a lecturer qualification (Habilitation) in physics at Humboldt University, Berlin. His research focuses on ultrafast phenomena in solids and nanostructures.
