摘要:

通过双色激光脉冲与氮分子超音速射流的相互作用,揭示了等离子体振荡对宽带太赫兹辐射的贡献。随着等离子体密度的变化,观测到了太赫兹波的时间和光谱位移。前者归因于THz波折射率的变化,后者与等离子体频率的变化相关。考虑光电流、等离子体振荡和等离子体密度衰减的模拟解释了宽带太赫兹谱和变化的太赫兹谱。由于等离子体的吸收可以忽略不计,等离子体振荡仅在低等离子体密度下对THz波有贡献。在较长的介质或较高的密度下,等离子体振荡和吸收的共同作用导致了低频宽带THz光谱的观测结果。

英文摘要:

Contribution of plasma oscillation to the broadband terahertz emission is revealed by interacting two-color laser pulses with a supersonic jet of nitrogen molecules. Temporal and spectral shifts of THz waves are observed as the plasma density varies. The former owes to the changing refractive index of the THz waves, and the latter correlates to the varying plasma frequency. Simulation of considering photocurrents, plasma oscillation and decaying plasma density explains the broadband THz spectrum and the varying THz spectrum. Plasma oscillation only contributes to THz waves at low plasma density owing to negligible plasma absorption. At the longer medium or higher density, the combining effects of plasma oscillation and absorption results in the observed low-frequency broadband THz spectra.
