Abstract

Based on spatial-temporal symmetry breaking mechanism, we propose a novel scheme for terahertz (THz) wave generation from hyper-Raman lines associated with the 0th harmonic (a particular even harmonic) in a two-level quantum system driven by two-color laser fields. With the help of analysis of quasi-energy, the frequency of THz wave can be tuned by changing the field amplitude of the driving laser. By optimizing the parameters of the laser fields, we are able to obtain arbitrary frequency radiation in the THz regime with appreciable strength (as strong as the typical harmonics). Our proposal can be realized in experiment in view of the recent experimental progress of even-harmonics generation by two-color laser fields.

Highlights

  • Terahertz (THz) radiation, electromagnetic radiation with typical frequency from 0.1 THz to 10 THz-lying in the spectrum gap between the infrared and microwaves, has varieties of applications in information and communication technology, biology and medical sciences, homeland security, and global environmental monitoring etc.[1]

  • Based on spatial-temporal symmetry breaking mechanism, we propose a novel scheme for terahertz (THz) wave generation from hyper-Raman lines associated with the 0th harmonic in a two-level quantum system driven by two-color laser fields

  • We explore the emission spectra using above numerical approach and the theory on the selection rule in high-order harmonic generation based on the generalized spatial-temporal symmetry
