Abstract

Terahertz (THz) wave generation and detection using gaseous medium as both the THz wave emitter and sensor, also termed “THz wave air photonics”, has attracted much scientific attention. We report the most recent progresses in THz generation and detection in laser-induced gas plasma. The overall emphasis of this paper is on THz wave detection with gaseous medium, while in the generation part, emphasis will be on the case with two-color laser excitation.
