Enhancement of the Efficiency of a Laser-Plasma Terahertz Radiation Source Using a Parabolic Concentrator
摘要
A 30-fold increase in the energy of a quasi-unipolar terahertz radiation pulse in a remote focus was experimentally demonstrated for the regime of diffuse electron beam generation using a specially designed parabolic concentrator. The pulse of coherent terahertz radiation arose as a result of transition radiation of relativistic electrons accelerated by a femtosecond laser pulse of relativistic intensity (up to
