Аннотация: In this Letter, terahertz high harmonic generation processes in topological insulators of the bismuth and antimony chalcogenides family are investigated. Field conversion efficiencies are determined and clean cubic and quintic power-law scaling is observed for third and fifth harmonics, up to driving terahertz fields of 140 kV/cm. This is in contrast to all previous experiments on terahertz harmonics generation in Dirac materials where a non-perturbative regime has been observed already at few 10s kV/cm driving fields. Our nonlinear THz spectroscopy experiments are complemented by THz pump - optical probe measurements showing distinctly different relaxation dynamics of the carriers in the topologically-protected Dirac states at the surfaces and the bulk. The THz-induced dynamics of surface states reveal ultrafast relaxation that prevents accumulation effects, and results in a clear perturbative regime of THz harmonics generation that is different to graphene or Dirac semimetals with their slower relaxation times in the few ps regime.
