Experimental Setup

Caption

This is a close-up of the experimental setup in the University of Konstanz's high-field Terahertz lab. Under the extreme conditions of the experiment, a bright red glow can be seen to emanate from the gallium arsenide crystal used as a semiconductor. This is due to the system's extremely high optical nonlinearity, which occurs when Wannier-Stark localization sets in.
