Abstract
The generation of Terahertz (THz) waves via two-color plasma in gas has captured the interest of the research community due to its capability to create intense waves characterized by a wide and adjustable spectrum. Efforts aimed at improving the performance of THz radiation for particular applications entail examining and adjusting several variables. In this study, we introduce a simple method for manipulating THz polarization through the adjustment of chirp and wavelength dispersion. Specifically, we will show that by managing these characteristics, it is possible to produce THz waves with polarizations that can be elliptical, circular, or resemble a "flower" pattern. The implications of these changes on the spatiotemporal path of THz radiation will also be examined.
