摘要：
A generalized treatment of skew-cosh-Gaussian lasers with skewness parameters n and s is provided for obtaining bifocal terahertz radiation in a realistic plasma having electron-neutral collisions. In order to find and control the focusing of the radiation, a relation is established between the position of the peak of the radiation field and the parameters n and s. The significant role of these parameters in getting bifocal radiation or its conversion to unifocal radiation (or vice-versa) with a proposal for enhanced efficiency of the scheme is discussed in detail for its medical applications.
