We theoretically study the nonlinear magnetic resonance driven by intense lasers or electromagnetic waves in a fully polarized frustrated magnet near a less-visible spin-nematic ordered phase. In general, both magnons and magnon pairs (two-magnon bound state) appear as the low-energy excitation in the saturated state of spin-nematic magnets. Their excitation energies are usually in the range between 10 GHz and 10 THz. Magnon pairs with angular momentumcan be excited by the simultaneous absorption of two photons, and such multiphoton processes occur if the applied THz laser is strong enough. We compute laser-driven magnetic dynamics of a frustrated four-spin system with both magnon () and magnon-pair ()-like excitations, which is analogous to a macroscopic frustrated magnet with a spin-nematic phase. We estimate the required strength of the magnetic field of a laser for the realization of two-photon absorption, taking into account dissipation effects with the Lindblad equation. We show that an intense THz laser with an ac magnetic field of 0.1–1.0 T is enough to observe magnon-pair resonance.
