N2 - We demonstrate the generation of near-single cycle longitudinally polarized terahertz radiationusing a large-area radially biased photoconductive antenna with a longitudinal field amplitude inexcess of 2 kV/cm. The 76 mm diameter antenna was photo-excited by a 0.5 mJ amplified nearinfraredfemtosecond laser system and biased with a voltage of up to 100 kV applied over concentricelectrodes. Amplitudes for both the transverse and longitudinal field components of the sourcewere measured using a calibrated electro-optic detection scheme. By tightly focusing the radiationemitted from the photoconductive antenna, we obtained a maximum longitudinal field amplitude of2.22 kV/cm with an applied bias field of 38.5 kV/cm.
