摘要：

The generation of THz radiation from ionizing two-color femtosecond pulses propagating in metallic hollow waveguides filled with Ar is numerically studied. We observe a strong reshaping of the low-frequency part of the spectrum. More precisely, after several millimeters of propagation the spectrum is extended from hundreds of GHz up to similar to 150 THz. For longer propagation distances, nearly single-cycle near-infrared pulses with wavelengths around 4.5 mu m are obtained by appropriate spectral filtering, with an efficiency of 0.1-1%.
