Abstract
Based on the photocurrent model, we study terahertz (THz) emission from argon plasmas induced by incommensurate-frequency two- and three-color laser fields. In order to enhance the THz radiation at an arbitrary frequency efficiently, a genetic algorithm is applied to search for the optimum laser parameters. For the longer two-color field, our optimizations show that the THz tunability is mainly determined by two laser frequencies, which approximately meets the law Ω = 2ω1−ω2. However, for the shorter laser pulse, the tunability of the THz wave with lower frequency also depends on the relative phase. To control the tunable THz emission, we systematically investigated how to generate the stronger THz wave with the shorter spectrum width using the optimal synthesized waveform. We found that the THz intensity can be enhanced by about an order with three-color field compared with the two-color cases. We also show that the tunable single ultrashort THz pulses can be obtained by using an optimized 50-fs two-color pulse.
