Laser-Driven Strong-Field Terahertz Sources

A review on the recent development of intense laser-driven terahertz (THz) sources is provided here. The technologies discussed include various types of sources based on optical rectification (OR), spintronic emitters, and laser-filament-induced plasma. The emphasis is on OR using pump pulses with t...

Description
Summary:A review on the recent development of intense laser-driven terahertz (THz) sources is provided here. The technologies discussed include various types of sources based on optical rectification (OR), spintronic emitters, and laser-filament-induced plasma. The emphasis is on OR using pump pulses with tilted intensity front. Illustrative examples of newly emerging applications are briefly discussed, in particular strong-field THz control of materials and acceleration and manipulation of charged particles.
