Abstract: In this paper, we proposed a method for THz comb generation via surface-emitted optical rectification (OR) of ultra-short laser pulse in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). The mechanism of this phenomenon is spectral interference between early and late THz pulses emitted by one fs-pulse. The generation of THz comb was analyzed both in frequency- and time-domain based on radiating antenna model. The figures of spectrum and waveform of the calculated electric field were presented. Our calculation indicated that THz combs generated by this method cover a large bandwidth and have a wide free spectral range.
