Abstract

A method for generating terahertz (THz) necklace beams from two-color vortex-laser-induced air plasma is proposed and theoretically investigated based on the frequency down-conversion process. The numerical demonstrations based on both the four-wave mixing and the photocurrent schemes confirm that the generated THz pulse is a shear necklace beam without orbital angular momentum (OAM), whose phase is manifested as the stepwise jump versus azimuthal angle. The origin of OAM vanishing is attributed to the fact that the phase difference between two-color field components does not contribute to the phase but only to the amplitude of the THz pulse.
