Abstract

We present the analytical and numerical study of the nonlinear currents excited at the surface of the conducting media irradiated by the ultrashort laser pulse. Electron dynamics are described by the Boltzmann transport equation which is solved using the perturbation theory in the incident electric field strength. For the pulses of very short duration the possibility of generating radiation with a frequency of more than 10 THz without a significant decrease in the generation efficiency due to the escape of electrons from the skin layer is revealed.

Transverse charge separation field exists on the Debye screening spatial scale and may only affect current in the z-direction in the thin layer near the surface. The field in this thin layer is proportional to the laser intensity and has negligible effect on the THz radiation generation in the approximation we considered.
