Abstract We report here an experimental and theoretical study on ultrafast switching of dielectric polarization in (Ba0.8Sr0.2)TiO3 thin films by a strong electric field of a nearly single-cycle THz pulse at different temperatures. Optical second harmonic generation (SHG) is used as a probe of the polarization in the terahertz pump-optical probe experiment. We describe an approach to interpretation of SHG response from the ferroelectric polydomain film excited by a short electric field pulse. We show that dielectric polarization induced by the THz field decreases while approaching the Curie temperature. Simulations with the help of the Duffing equation reproduce the experimental observations.
