  • Abstract
    We demonstrate an enhancement of terahertz wave generation from plasma produced by circularly polarized two-color fields when the laser intensity is high enough to saturately ionize the gas. Comparing to the linear two-color fields, the conversion efficiency of co-rotating circularly polarized two color-fields is about 40% higher.
