摘要
THz radiation may be excited by nonlinear mixing of two counter-propagating laser beams, having frequency difference omega(1) similar to omega(2) >= 2 omega(p), in under dense plasma. Beating laser beams exert nonlinear ponderomotive force on plasma electrons and excite a nonlinear density perturbation. The nonlinear density perturbation drives a non-resonant space charge mode which may excite a pair of plasma wave and back scattered electromagnetic terahertz wave at resonance. The presence of transverse magnetic field further enhances the growth of THz wave. The transverse magnetic field also tunes the amplitude and frequency of THz wave. The maximum growth rate of excitation process Gamma similar to 6.22 x 10(-6) s(-1) is achieved for applied magnetic field similar to 175 kG.
