Abstract

We demonstrate that terahertz generation in a two-color laser filament can exhibit conical or Gaussian far-field distribution depending on the experimental conditions. By measuring the spatial distribution of the THz electric field in the 0–3 THz spectral range, we have shown that the conical emission is likely due to photo-induced carriers in the silicon filter used to block the remaining pump laser pulses. However, the terahertz generation can retrieve a Gaussian spatial distribution by replacing the silicon filter by a ceramic one in which the photo-excitation of charge carrier does not occur.
