Femtosecond pulses of only a single cycle in duration have recently been achieved in the far-IR region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The technique, which Is based on the inverse electrooptic effect in LITaO3, generates a conical shock wave of far-infrared radiation analogous to the Cherenkov radiation of relativistic particles in matter.
