摘要
The X-wave formation during the propagation of bichromatic femtosecond laser pulses in an air plasma filament and THz radiation generation has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. We found that in this case the pump waves as well as THz radiation propagate as X waves at the same group velocity. Therefore, the cone angle of generated THz radiation could be estimated using the X-wave dispersion law. Hence, the proposed model allows an alternative characterization of generated THz radiation based on the frequency-angular spectra of pump waves registered after propagation in the created plasma filament.
