A review on the recent development of intense laser‐driven terahertz (THz) sources is
provided here. The technologies discussed include various types of sources based on …

Terahertz (THz) light has proven to be a fine tool to probe and control quasi-particles and
collective excitations in solids, to drive phase transitions and associated changes in material …

In this paper, we will review both past and recent progresses in the generation, detection
and application of intense terahertz (THz) radiation. We will restrict the review to laser based …

Plasma channel generation (or filamentation) using ultraintense laser pulses in dielectric
media has a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from remote sensing to terahertz …

Frequency mixing an ultrafast-pulse laser's fundamental and second-harmonic fields in
semiconductors 1, 2, atomic gases 3, 4, and on metal surfaces 5 generates a directional …

Organic π‐conjugated crystals with second‐order optical nonlinearity are considerably
attractive materials for diverse terahertz (THz) wave photonics. An overview of the research …

We review the generation of broadband THz radiation from femtosecond photo‐induced gas
plasmas, with an emphasis on the highly efficient “AC‐bias” case where the plasma is …

Polarization control of broadband terahertz waves is essential for applications in many
areas, such as materials science, medical and biological diagnostics, near-field …

Terahertz radiation with a Bessel beam profile is demonstrated experimentally from a two-
color laser filament in air, which is induced by tailored femtosecond laser pulses with an …

This is a review of some recent development in femtosecond filamentation science with
emphasis on our collective work. Previously reviewed work in the field will not be discussed …
