THz non-linear optical response in cuprates: predominance of the BCS response over the Higgs mode

Recent experiments with strong THz fields in unconventional cuprates superconductors have clearly evidenced an increase of the non-linear optical response below the superconducting critical temperature Tc. As in the case...
