Abstract
The spatial-time dynamic of THz nitrogen discharge in the background pressure range from a few torrs to one atmosphere was obtained. The work discuss issues of discharge propagation mechanism and shock wave formation. The radiation source was the gyrotron with maximum pulse power of about 40kW at frequency 0:67THz and duration 20μs. The main diagnostic tool was laser interferometry, based on the analysis of changes in the fringe structures made by a probe beam (r = 12mm at 1=e2 level) crossing the plasma cloud. The Michelson interferometer scheme with a diode laser at 532nm was used.
