So far the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) algorithm is the most effective tool to calculate the Maxwell’s equations directly in time domain. Because of its advantage in describing a specified propagating pulse by considering the phase characteristics, it is essential for the bidirectional investigation of THz radiation generation from micro-air-gas-plasma. However, it shows inconvenience or even impossibility if a general dispersive response of bound electrons within the partially ionized gases is included. Here, an improved FDTD method based on frequency-decomposition(FD) is proposed, and its validity and super-advantage are confirmed by the numerical demonstration of THz radiation generation from ultrafast laser induced gas plasma using a general dispersive response model with coefficients fitted from experimentally measured data in a wide frequency range.
