摘要：
A spatio-temporal analysis of terahertz generation by optical rectification of tilted pulse fronts is presented. Closed-form expressions of terahertz transients and spectra in two spatial dimensions are furnished in the undepleted limit. Importantly, the analysis incorporates spatio-temporal distortions of the optical pump pulse such as angular dispersion, group velocity dispersion due to angular dispersion, spatial and temporal chirp, as well as beam curvature. The influence of the radius of curvature on the tilt angle is shown. Furthermore, the impact of group velocity dispersion due to angular dispersion on terahertz frequency, conversion efficiency and peak field is revealed. In particular, the deterioration of terahertz frequency, efficiency and field at large pump bandwidths and beam sizes by group velocity dispersion due to angular dispersion is expressed analytically.
