Liquid crystals have found a wide area of application over the last few decades, proving to be excellent materials for tunable optics from visible to near-infrared frequencies. Currently, much effort is devoted to demonstrating their applicability at THz frequencies (1-10 THz), where tremendous advances of broadband and intense sources have been achieved. Yet, a detailed understanding of THz-triggered dynamics in liquid crystals is incomplete. Here, we perform broadband THz time …
