Abstract

The propagation and amplification of ultrashort terahertz pulses in a nonequilibrium photoionization plasma channel formed in xenon by a powerful femtosecond UV laser pulse is studied in three-dimensional geometry. The study is based on the self-consistent numerical integration of the second-order wave equation in cylindrical geometry and the Boltzmann kinetic equation in the two-term expansion to describe the electron velocity distribution function in the spatially inhomogeneous nonequilibrium plasma of the channel. Keywords: nonlinear optics, terahertz radiation, nonequilibrium plasma channel, numerical simulation.
