Abstract
In this paper, the pump depletion and cross-focusing effects on the generation of twisted terahertz radiation are investigated. Based on the beating of two Laguerre-Gaussian lasers in a radial plasma channel, a twisted terahertz radiation can be produced. In the presence of pump depletion, the lasers power is consumed. So, the ponderomotive force nonlinearity decreases and the output terahertz field approaches to a saturation value. Under competition between the diffraction and nonlinearity effects, the amplitude of laser beam width oscillation grows. When the incident laser beams have non-similar topological charge numbers, the normalized generated terahertz amplitude is low and the pump depletion effect on the laser beam width evolution is ignorable.
