Effect of femtosecond laser polarization on terahertz emission from cluster nanoplasma

We present the results of experimental studies of THz emission from argon cluster nanoplasma switched by the intense femtosecond laser pulses. We have performed measurements of the angular distribution of the THz radiation emitted from the clustered nanoplasma with two polarization states of the linearly polarized laser beam. We have found that polarization state of the laser radiation may influence on the efficiency of THz generation in cluster beam.
