Quasi-half-cycle pulses of light from a tapered undulator
Strong-field few-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses are an invaluable tool for engineering highly nonequilibrium states of matter. A scheme is proposed to generate quasi-half-cycle GV/m-scale THz pulses with a multikilohertz repetition rate. It makes use of coherent spontaneous emission from a prebunched...
