摘要
Using particle-in-cell simulations, we demonstrate a novel mechanism for the generation of terahertz radiation in a laser-plasma system. The radiation originates from current oscillations trapped in a stable soliton cavity created by the laser in the under-dense plasma region. These oscillations behave like a current dipole antenna. The characteristics of the antenna can be controlled by tuning the laser-plasma parameters to achieve the desired output frequency. We discuss the optimum conditions for the physical realization of this mechanism and its potential practical applications.
