| Research Abstract |
Aim of this study is to elucidate excitonic states of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and to develop coherent control technique with the excitonic states. For this purpose, (1) we established the method to generate single-cycle THz pulses with amplitudes with exceeding 1MV/cm electric field. (2) By developing a THz nonlinear spectroscopic method, we observe excitonic ionization under strong THz pulse with Stark effect and dynamical Frantz-Keldysh effect for both ZnSe and GaAs quantum wells. Furthermore, (3) we demonstrated for the first time that the number of carriers of GaAs quantum wells is enhanced 103 times more by irradiation of the THz pulse, eventually which leading a bright near-infrared luminescence. (4) For study THz response of single SWNTs, we developed the THz near-field microscope. With the developed THz spectroscopic technique we continue the experiment for the THz coherent control of excitonic states.
