Terahertz emission from a two-color plasma filament in a slot waveguide

Journal Article Dietze, D ; Unterrainer, K ; Darmo, J - Applied Physics Letters

Terahertz emission in forward direction from a long two-color filament placed in the center of a slot waveguide is reported. The waveguide improves the collection and imaging of the generated THz radiation. By tuning the plate separation and position of the waveguide along the filament axis, the emitted mode can be matched to the collection optics. We achieved an increase of the detected electric field by 40% and of the THz pulse energy by four times compared to the case without waveguide.

Effect of preformed plasma on terahertz-wave emission from the plasma generated by two-color laser pulses

Journal Article Minami, Yasuo ; Nakajima, Makoto ; Suemoto, Tohru - Physical Review. A

We introduced a weak prepulse 0-2 ns before the main pulse in the formation of a terahertz (THz) wave in air plasma by laser pulses composed of fundamental and second-harmonic waves. The prepulse suppressed the THz wave generated by the main pulse. We analyzed the suppression factor as a function of the time interval between the prepulse and the main pulse and found that the THz wave from the main pulse decreases immediately after the prepulse, recovers partially within several hundred picoseconds, and then recovers slowly. This suppression is attributed to the dense plasma, which absorbs and screens the generatedmore »« less

Coherent Polarization Control of Terahertz Waves Generated from Two-Color Laser-Induced Gas Plasma

Journal Article Jianming, Dai ; Karpowicz, Nicholas ; Zhang, X -C - Physical Review Letters

Electrons ionized from an atom or molecule by circularly or elliptically polarized femtosecond omega and 2omega pulses exhibit different trajectory orientations as the relative phase between the two pulses changes. Macroscopically, the polarization of the terahertz wave emitted during the ionization process was found to be coherently controllable through the optical phase. This new finding can be completely reproduced by numerical simulation and may enable fast terahertz wave modulation and coherent control of nonlinear responses excited by intense terahertz waves with controllable polarization.

Remote generation of high-energy terahertz pulses from two-color femtosecond laser filamentation in air

Journal Article Wang, T -J ; Daigle, J -F ; Yuan, S ; ... - Physical Review. A

We experimentally investigated the dynamic behavior of remote terahertz (THz) generation from two-color femtosecond laser-induced filamentation in air. A record-high THz pulse energy of 570 nJ at frequency below 5.5 THz was measured by optimizing the pump parameters at a controllable remote distance of 16 m, while super-broadband THz (<300 THz) pulse energy was up to 2.8 {mu}J. A further energy-scaling possibility was proposed. By analyzing simultaneously the fluorescence from both neutral N{sub 2} and N{sub 2}{sup +} in the filament, we found that the enhancement of THz radiation was due principally to guiding of the weak second-harmonic pulse insidemore »« less

Terahertz emission from a femtosecond laser focus in a two-color scheme

Journal Article Balakin, Alexey V ; Borodin, Alexander V ; Shkurinov, Alexander P ; ... - Journal of the Optical Society of America. Part B, Optical Physics

We critically revise the theory of terahertz emission from a plasma filament induced in a gas media by one or two focusd femtosecond laser pulses. We distinguish a radiation pressure force (RPF) from a ponderomotive force (PF), discuss conditions for one of these forces to be the dominating contribution to the terahertz emission, and also show that the angular distribution of the emitted power critically depends on which of the two forces dominates in a particular experiment. We show that the experimentally observed periodic dependence of the emitted terahertz power on the gas pressure reveals the dominating role of themore »« less
