Nonlinear response of the quantum Hall system to a strong electromagnetic radiation

We study nonlinear response of a quantum Hall system in semiconductor-heterostructures via third harmonic generation process and nonlinear Faraday effect. We demonstrate that Faraday rotation angle and third harmonic radiation intensity have a characteristic Hall plateaus feature. These nonlinear effects remain robust against the significant broadening of Landau levels. We predict realization of an experiment through the observation of the third harmonic signal and Faraday rotation angle, which are within the experimental feasibility.
