Abstract

An amplitude modulated Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) laser beam carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) is considered for terahertz radiation using non-uniform plasma vortex channel under relativistic conditions. The suggested approach involves the exchange of angular momentum between a non-uniform vortex plasma and a laser beam. During the interaction of non-uniform vortex plasma with photons, the laser angular momentum changes and twisted terahertz radiation is generated. The resultant THz radiation is shown to be substantially dependent on the beam width parameter and non-uniformity in the plasma channel. The amplitude of THz increases with beam focusing and the orbital angular momentum parameter. Due to higher amplitude of THz this study is useful in THz applications like, detection of counterfeit drugs, explosive material, analyze and identify defects in materials, medical imaging and communication.
