The THz radiation spectrum from InAs in a magnetic field irradiated with femtosecond pulses can be controlled by varying the excitation pulse width and chirp direction of the excitation pulse. A longer excitation pulse width produces lower-frequency THz radiation. Also, positively chirped pulse excitation will generate higher power and higher frequency THz radiation.
