Directionality of terahertz emission from photoinduced gas plasmas

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Forward and backward terahertz emission by ionizing two-color laser pulses in gas is investigated by means of a simple semianalytical model based on Jefimenko’s equations and rigorous Maxwell simulations in one and two dimensions. We find the emission in the backward direction has a much smaller spectral bandwidth than in the forward direction and explain this by interference effects. Forward terahertz radiation is generated predominantly at the ionization front and is thus almost not affected by the opacity of the plasma, in excellent agreement with results obtained from a unidirectional pulse propagation model.
