Abstract: | Terahertz emission from air excited by the tightly focused fundamental and second harmonic pulses of femtosecond Ti:Sapphire laser has been analyzed. It has been found that the curved phase fronts of the pump waves cancel each other resulting in the flat phase front of the nonlinear polarization at terahertz frequency. Also, in addition to the phase terms obtained using plane-wave approximation, we have found the yet unreported phase term, which in most cases can be as large as π/2. |
