The plasma sheath existing between an antenna and a surrounding plasma layer plays an essential role. It is predicted that, for a given operating frequency, there exist certain plasma densities for which the system is resonant, and this very strongly enhanced radiation is fully confirmed by experiments. This combination of dielectric layer and plasma enables to tune an antenna even when its dimensions are much smaller than the vacuum wavelength. The influence of a static magnetic field is discussed.The same system can also be used as a frequency-sensitive receiving aerial.

Abstract We purpose a theoretical analysis for the generation of efficient terahertz (THz) radiation by using the nonlinear interaction of Gaussian laser beam with vertically aligned anharmonic, and rippled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) array. This array of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs) is embedded on the base of the dielectric surface. The VA-CNTs have been magnetized by applying a static magnetic field mutually perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the Gaussian beam and length of CNTs. The Gaussian laser beam passing through the CNTs exerts a nonlinear ponderomotive force on the electrons of CNTs and provides them resonant nonlinear transverse velocity. This produces the nonlinear current which is further responsible for the generation of THz radiation. The anharmonicity plays a vital role in the efficient generation of THz radiation. The anharmonicity arises due to the nonlinear variation of restoration force on the various electrons of CNTs. This anharmonicity in the electrons of CNTs helps in broadening the resonance peak. We have observed that externally applied static magnetic field 110 kg to 330 kg) also paves the way for the enhancement of the normalized THz amplitude.
