  …tion. In this case, the presence of laser radiation has a considerable effect on the properties of the material medium. Thus, the hybrid “dressed” states emerge; terahertz emission originates from the transitions at Rabi energy between the neighboring dressed states. “In symmetrical two-state structures, such a transition is impossible, and most two-state quantu…
