We investigate the relaxation dynamics of a plasma channel, called filament, produced in air by an intense femtosecond laser pulse. A single-cycle terahertz pulse, generated by a secondary air-plasma, probes the filament at its near-critical plasma density.
We investigate essential parameters of the plasma filament, especially the electron density, in the particular regime of high...
Intense picosecond terahertz radiation has opened new opportunities in solid-state physics and materials science, allowing to probe and/or control different degrees of freedom of a solid by driving electrons, magnons, or phonons at ultrafast timescales with an intense electric field associated with photon energy in the meV range1. Owing to significant spectral weight in the...
