One sentence from reference say: “ Unlike nonlinear crystals, a lack of phonon modes in plasma prevents THz absorption, resulting in broadband THz radiation with no spectral gap”。 Can we understand that this plasma does not absorb terahertz waves? But, we also often see literature mentioning the absorption of terahertz waves by plasma. So what is the relationship between the nature of the plasma and the absorption of terahertz waves?
