Abstract

Broadband coherent emission around the electron plasma frequency can be produced from a laser wakefield by linear mode conversion in inhomogeneous plasmas. In addition to its potential use as a powerful terahertz source, it can be used as diagnostics of the wakefield produced for particle acceleration. In this paper, some simulation results are presented on the wake emission when the wakefield is driven in the wavebreaking regime and driven inside a plasma channel.
