Enhanced coherent transition radiation from midinfrared-laser-driven microplasmas

Abstract We present a particle-in-cell (PIC) analysis of terahertz (THz) radiation by ultrafast plasma currents driven by relativistic-intensity laser pulses. We show that, while the I 0 $${\lambda }_{0}^{2}$$ λ 0 2 product of the laser intensity I 0 and the laser wavelength λ 0 plays the key role i...
