“…where χ (2) (2ω; ω, ω)-crystallographic quadratic susceptibility and χ (3) E (2ω; Ω, ω, ω)cubic susceptibility. The cubic susceptibility can be considered as a measure of polarization switchability-the higher the value of χ (3) , the lower THz field is required to control (switch) polarization.…”

“…Today, an important task is to develop methods for the ultrafast control of the ferroelectric order parameter. Solving this problem will allow for creating new energy-efficient optoelectronic devices such as memory cells and modulators [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. In magnetic materials, this problem has already been solved using optical [ 5 , 6 ] or terahertz [ 7 , 8 , 9 ] pulses.…”

This study investigates the impact of narrow-band terahertz pulses on the ferroelectric order parameter in Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 films on various substrates. THz radiation in the range of 1–2 THz with the pulse width of about 0.15 THz was separated from a broadband pulse with the interference technique. The 375 nm thick BST film on a MgO (001) substrate exhibits enhanced THz-induced second harmonic generation when excited by THz pulses with a central frequency of 1.6 THz, due to the resonant excitation of the soft phonon mode. Conversely, the BST film on a Si (001) substrate shows no enhancement, due to its polycrystalline state. The 800 nm thick BST film on a MgO (111) substrate demonstrates the maximum of a second harmonic generation signal when excited by THz pulses at 1.8 THz, which is close to the soft mode frequency for the (111) orientation. Notably, the frequency spectrum of the BST/MgO (111) film reveals peaks at both the fundamental and doubled frequencies, and their intensities depend, respectively, linearly and quadratically on the THz pulse electric field strength.
