We propose a microscopic theory of terahertz (THz) radiation generation on metal gratings under the action of femtosecond laser pulses. In contrast to previous models, only low-frequency currents inside the metal are considered without…
We derive simple formulas to explain terahertz (THz) emission from semiconductor surfaces excited by a femtosecond (fs) laser. Femtosecond optical pulses with energies larger than the bandgap create photocarriers which travel and generate…
