Abstract

The generation of broadband terahertz radiation using an extremely short laser pulse of high intensity is considered. Using numerical simulation of the generalized Yajima-Oikawa system, it is shown that in the generation of an optical-terahertz soliton, in contrast to the quasi-monochromatic case, Kerr nonlinearity plays an important role for a low-period pulse, considering its dispersion.
