It is known that such features of pulsed THz radiation as a small number of periods and an ultra-wide spectrum modify the appearance of linear effects like absorption, dispersion, and diffraction. In this work, we study the influence of the spatial localization of a THz pulse during its generation. It is shown that this leads to a spatial chirp of the pulse. Based on the results obtained, recommendations are formulated for working with such pulses, which make it possible to guarantee that spectral information will not be lost during the propagation of such pulses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
