摘要
Terahertz pulse generation in the laser-induced plasma from a series of noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe) was systematically investigated. Femtosecond laser pulses consisting of both a fundamental and its second-harmonic frequency were used for the terahertz generation. Experimental results reveal that terahertz generation efficiency of these noble gases increases with decreasing ionization potential. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
