Efficient terahertz emission by mid-infrared laser pulses from gas targets

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

It is shown by simulations that terahertz (THz) radiation can be produced more efficiently by a mid-infrared laser pulse from a gas target. The THz amplitude is enhanced by 35 times as the laser wavelength increases from 1μm to 4μm; a 4μm laser at 1015Wcm2 produces 5MV/cm THz radiation. The THz amplitude changes oscillatingly with increasing laser intensity for a given laser wavelength. In addition, the laser intensity threshold for the THz emission is lower for a longer laser wavelength.
