Abstract

We present recent progress in understanding nonlinear phonon dynamics driven by intense THz field strengths using ultrafast x-ray diffraction. This technique allows us to characterize the motion of the atomic lattice inside the sample on a sub-cycle timescale while the driving field is still present. In the example of strontium titanate (SrTiO₃) we observe harmonic generation and phonon upconversion when the fundamental soft mode is driven into the nonlinear regime by a single-cycle THz pulse.
