THz generation by optical Cherenkov emission from ionizing two-color laser pulses

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

Two-color photoionization produces a cycle-averaged current driving broadband, conically emitted THz radiation. We investigate, through simulation, the processes determining the angle of conical emission. We find that the emission angle is determined by an optical Cherenkov effect, where the front velocity of the current source is faster than the THz phase velocity.
