Popis: Simultaneous measurements of THz wave and hard X-ray emission from thin and flat water flow when irradiated by double femtosecond laser pulses (800 nm, 35 fs, transform-limited, 0.5 kHz, delay times up to 15 ns) were carried out at the transmission and the reflection sides of the flow with THz time-domain spectroscopy and Geiger counters. THz wave emission spectra show their dynamic peak-shifts toward the low frequency with the highest intensity enhancements more than 1.5 x 10^3 times in |E|^2 at the delay time of 4.7 ns between the two pulses, while X-ray intensity enhancements are limited to about 20 times at 0 ns under the same experimental conditions. The mechanisms for the spectral changes and the intensity enhancements in THz wave emission are discussed from the viewpoint of laser ablation on the water flow induced by the pre-pulse irradiation.
