Higgs-mediated optical amplification in a nonequilibrium superconductor

<p>We propose a novel nonequilibrium phenomenon, through which a prompt quench from a metal to a transient superconducting state can induce large oscillations of the order parameter amplitude. We argue that this oscillating mode acts as a source of parametric amplification of the incident radi...
