Controlling the Polarization State of Plasma-Induced THz Waves
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Terahertz generation from two- and multi-color optical fields due to photoionization is a well-established way to produce intense, ultra-broadband THz and far-infrared radiation [1], [2]. THz radiation is the result of the transfer of electrons into the continuum and their field-induced acceleration. Recently, it was shown that this mechanism allows the production of different THz waveshapes [3], [4], by controlling the polarization state of the pump pulses. This control was shown to be useful for imaging tunneling electronic wavepackets on the attosecond scales [5].
