An amplitude-modulated laser, in the presence of a static magnetic field, interacts with an array of carbon nanotubes embedded on a metallic surface. The laser exerts a ponderomotive force on the free electrons of carbon nanotubes at twice the modulation frequency that falls in the terahertz (THz) range. Each nanotube acts as an oscillatory electric dipole, producing THz radiations. The presence of magnetic field shifts the resonance condition and provides tunability. The THz radiation power increases with magnetic field strength.
