Terahertz Radiation from Laser Created Plasma by Applying a Transverse Static Electric Field

POSTER

Abstract

Terahertz (THz) radiation, which is emitted in narrow cone in the forward direction from femtosecond laser pulse created plasma has been observed by N.Yugami \textit{et al}. [1]. Additionally, T. Loffler \textit{et al}. have observed that a significantly increased THz emission intensity in the forward direction when the transverse static electric field is applied to the plasma [2]. We propose the theoretical model of the THz radiation from laser created plasma by applying the transverse static electric field and conducted both experiments and 2D-PIC simulation to compared with our theory.\\ \\$[1]$ N.
