Forward and backward THz emission by ionizing two-color laser pulses in gas is investigated by means of a simple semi-analytical model based on Jefimenko's equation and rigorous Maxwell simulations in one and two dimensions. We find the…
We present a theoretical investigation of terahertz (THz) generation in laser-induced gas plasmas. The work is strongly motivated by recent experimental results on micro-plasmas, but our general findings are not limited to such a…
Applications ranging from nonlinear terahertz spectroscopy to remote sensing require broadband and intense THz radiation which can be generated by focusing two-color laser pulses into a gas. In this setup, THz radiation originates from the…
We demonstrate that pulsed THz radiation produced in air by a focused ultrashort laser pulse can be steered to large angles or even in the backward direction with respect to the laser propagation axis. The emission angle is adjusted by the…
We present an analytical method to study the angular distribution of THz radiation driven by two-color laser-induced microplasma in nitrogen gas. Directionally dependent temporal waveforms of the radiated THz pulse is calculated. To do so,…
Terahertz pulse generation by ultra-intense two-color laser fields ionizing gases with near- to far-infrared carrier wavelength is studied from particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. For long wavelength ($10.6\ \mu$m) promoting a large ratio…
We study the influence of the polarization states of femtosecond two-color pulses ionizing gases on the emitted terahertz radiation. A local-current model and plane-wave evaluations justify the previously-reported impact on the THz energy…
We study THz-emission from a plasma driven by an incommensurate-frequency two-colour laser field. A semi-classical transient electron current model is derived from a fully quantum-mechanical description of the emission process in terms of…
The orientation and ellipticity of terahertz (THz) polarization generated by two-color strong field not only cast light on underlying mechanisms of laser-matter interaction, but also play an important role for various applications. We…
A laser pulse composed of a fundamental and an appropriately phased second harmonic can drive a time-dependent current of photoionized electrons that generates broadband THz radiation. Over the propagation distances relevant to many…
We demonstrate that the THz generation in air from a dual-color pulse, composed of the fundamental and second-harmonic waves, can be coherently controlled by field-free molecular alignment. By tuning its time delay to properly match various…
We show both theoretically and experimentally that the magnetization density accompanying ultrafast excitation of a semiconductor with circular polarized light varies rapidly enough to produce a detectable THz field.
The non-linear convection for the THz generation from two-colored lasers are analyzed in the context of the forward Raman scattering. The energy transfer from the lasers to the THz light can be efficient. The possible peak intensity of the…
The spectrum of terahertz (THz) emission in gases via ionizing two-color femtosecond pulses is analyzed by means of a semi-analytic model and finite-difference-time-domain simulations in 1D and 2D geometries. We show that produced THz…
We demonstrate optical coherent control of the emission direction of THz radiation. Femtosecond laser pulses are used to excite different types of ultrafast photocurrents along different directions in a bulk GaAs sample. The overall…
A laser pulse composed of a fundamental and properly phased second harmonic exhibits an asymmetric electric field that can drive a time-dependent current of photoionized electrons. The current produces an ultrashort burst of terahertz (THz)…
The spatial and spectral distributions of terahertz (THz) pulses emitted by two-color air plasmas are theoretically investigated for focused laser pulses and in the filamentation regime. We derive a so-called ''augmented'' conical emission…
Photoionization by a femtosecond, terawatt laser pulse generates a plasma column in a neutral ambient gas. Velocity of electrons, pushed by the laser ponderomotive force along the column surface, couples to the the radial density gradient…
Mixing the fundamental ($\omega$) and the second harmonic (2$\omega$) waves in gas phase is a widely employed technique for emitting terahertz (THz) pulses. The THz generation driven by bi-chromatic fields can be described by the…
We theoretically study the generation of terahertz (THz) radiation by two-color filamentation of ultrashort laser pulses with different wavelengths. We consider wavelengths in the range from 0.6 to 10.6 $\mu$m, thus covering the whole range…
