Figure 8

Coherent control of the quantum interference that causes wavepacket oscillations. Upper two traces: THz waveforms seen when the a-DQWS is excited by only one pulse. Lower two traces: Waveforms seen with excitation by a pair of phase-locked pulses. For Δφ = 0, the coherent excitation strongly enhances the THz emission, for Δφ = π, the interference is destructive and the THz emission starts at the arrival of the first pulse, but is almost completely quenched by the second one (7).
