Abstract

We diagnosed the polarization characteristics of Terahertz emission from a two-color femtosecond laser filament when the polarizations of ω and 2 ω beams are orthogonal. We discovered that the THz pulse is elliptically polarized. The generation mechanism could be through four-wave optical rectification inside the filament zone where the inversion symmetry of air is broken.
