Title: Ultrafast terahertz gating of the polarization and giant nonlinear optical response in BiFeO 3 thin films

In this article, terahertz pulses are applied as an all-optical bias to ferroelectric thin-film BiFeO 3 while monitoring the time-dependent ferroelectric polarization through its nonlinear optical response. Modulations in the intensity of the second harmonic light generated by the film correspond to on–off ratios of 220 × gateable on femtosecond timescales. Polarization modulations comparable to the built-in static polarization are observed.
