Abstract

Polarization-tunable terahertz (THz) radiation in pair plasma has been generated under the combined configuration of a helical wiggler and solenoidal magnetic fields. The control over the electromagnetic vector of the emitted field (i.e. polarization) furnishes the knob of another degree of freedom which is very useful in numerous applications. With the optimization of wiggler period and frequency, the total angular spread of the field has been reduced which provides a narrow-band THz spectrum. Additionally, the solenoidal field not only prevents the escape of particles during laser-matter interaction but also enhances the magnitude of emitted field. Along with the external magnetic field, collisions among the particles and ripples in plasma density have also been considered to fine-tune the radiation.
