Abstract

In the presence of electron neutral collisions of a frequency (ν) of the order of ν≥0.5ω_{p}(ω_{p} is the plasma frequency), the collisional effects play an adverse role in the mechanism of terahertz (THz) radiation. The present work describes an approach for the efficient emission of THz radiation with the application of an external periodic electric field in the density rippled collisional plasma wherein an additional transverse component of the current is generated that adds to the THz radiation mechanism. The THz field obtained by coupling of the lasers' field with the external field is termed as an external field induced THz (EFIT). Here, the periodic wave number of the external field enables tuning of the THz radiation and helps achieve multiple resonance conditions for the excitation of large amplitude nonlinear plasma currents.
