AbstractThe hallmark of superconductivity is the rigidity of the quantum-mechanical phase of electrons, responsible for superfluid behavior and Meissner effect. The strength of the phase stiffness is set by the Josephson coupling, which is strongly anisotropic in layered cuprates. So far, THz light pulses have been used to achieve non-linear control of the out-of-plane Josephson plasma mode, whose frequency lies in the THz range. However, the high-energy in-plane plasma mode has been considered insensitive to THz pumping. Here, we show that THz driving of both low-frequency and high-frequency plasma waves is possible via a general two-plasmon excitation mechanism. The anisotropy of the Josephson couplings leads to markedly different thermal effects for the out-of-plane and in-plane response, linking in both cases the emergence of non-linear photonics across Tc to the superfluid stiffness. Our results show that THz light pulses represent a preferential knob to selectively drive phase excitations in unconventional superconductors.

The plasma waves generated by resonant absorption of light in the vicinity of the critical density of laser-produced plasmas, are modelled by a non-linear Schrödinger equation with additional terms accounting for the presence of a source and the inhomogeneity of the medium.We use an average lagrangian method to describe the behaviour of the solutions of this equation in the range of parameters where periodic soliton generation occurs. An iterating scheme describing the successive emission of solitons yields values for this range of parameters which are in reasonable agreement with those found from direct numerical simulations of the non-linear Schrödinger equation.
