| contents | In recent years, techniques of intense THz laser have enabled us to experimentally observe nonlinear spin dynamics in antiferromagnets since the elementary excitations such as magnons reside on a THz to GHz range in antiferromagnets and THz laser thus can directly excite them. We numerically and theoretically investigate THz-laser or GHz-wave driven harmonic generations in typical ordered phases of antiferromagnets: Néel, canted and weak ferromagnetic phases. The radiation waves (harmonic generations) are created by the incident-wave driven magnon dynamics. We point out that magnetic orders and phase transitions can change the spectra of harmonic generations, differently from those of metallic, semiconductor, or atomic-gas systems without (spontaneous) symmetry breakings. We consider both the magnon harmonic generation driven by standard single-color laser and that by two-color laser in the antiferromagnets, and find several dynamical symmetries and the corresponding selection rules of the harmonic generations. These results indicate that the magnon harmonic generation spectra provide new information about symmetry or symmetry breaking of antiferromagnets. |
