Abstract :
We present a combined theoretical and experimental study of THz generation in gases using two-color ionizing laser pulses. Results obtained from (3+1)-dimensional simulations are in good agreement with experimental findings and clarify the mechanisms responsible for THz emission as well as the observed dependencies on the gas pressure.
