✦ Synopsis

A systematic investigation of external focusing effect on terahertz (THz) emission from a two-color femtosecond laser-induced filament in air is demonstrated. By collecting the THz emission precisely under different external focusing conditions, an optimum external focal length around 50 cm was observed to generate stronger THz emission. The optimum dependence on the filament volume and the filament's core intensity with external focusing could be responsible for this stronger THz emission. α max α Variable metallic iris Filament Si filter THz pulse Schematic diagram of the THz divergence measurement

We demonstrate a method to control the terahertz (THz) emission from a two-color filament in air based on molecular alignment due to rotational Raman excitation. By tuning the delay time between rotational Raman excitation and THz excitation around the air molecule revival time, a significant modula
