abstract = {Here we report a laser plasma-driven source of T-rays with
the highest pulse energy ever recorded in a laboratory.
T-rays are emitted from therear surface of a solid target in
the non-collinear direction at incident laser intensities ~
$10^19$ $W/cm^2.$ Pulse energy measurements reported T-ray
pulses with peak energies no less than 700 μJ. Temporal
measurements using a single-shot electro-optic method showed
the presence of sub-picosecond T-ray pulseswith 570 fs
duration, thus rendering the peak-power of the source higher
even than that of state-of-the-art synchrotrons. A
conversion efficiencyof higher than $10^-3$ and an average
power of 7 mW makes it the most efficient compact and
powerful THz source known today. Spectral analysis revealed
the presences of frequencies ranging from 0.1 - 133 THz,
while most of the energy is localised in the low frequency
region. The dependence of T-ray yield on incident laser
energy is linear and shows no signs of saturation. The
spatial distribution of the recorded T-rays indicates that
most of the T-rays are emitted in the non-collinear
direction from the rear-surface of a solid target and the
contribution in the forward direction is very small. 2D
particle-in-cellsimulations show the presence of transient
current at the target rear surface.},
