We propose an experimental scheme to probe the Berry curvature of solids. Our
method is sensitive to arbitrary regions of the Brillouin zone, and employs
only basic optical and terahertz techniques to yield a background free signal.
Using semiconductor quantum wells as a prototypical system, we discuss how to
inject Berry curvature macroscopically, and probe it in a way that provides
information about the underlying microscopic Berry curvature.Comment: 4 pages, accepted in Physical Review Letter
