Abstract
By exploiting the Rahi-flopping-induced coherent density oscillations in a weakly dc-biased quantum well, we describe a new method for producing very intense (roughly kilovolts per centimeter), tunable terahertz transients. W e achieved tunability by simply varying the area of the input optical pulse . (C) 1999 Optical Society of America.
