We present on THz generation in the two-color gas plasma scheme driven by a high-power, ultrafast fiber laser system. The applied scheme is a promising approach for scaling the THz average power but it has been limited so far by the driving…

The interaction between an intense laser and a relativistic dense electron beam propagating in the same direction could down-shift the laser frequency. This process, which can be used to generate a coherent THz radiation, is theoretically…
