Cherenkov radiation (CR) is available for a wide variety of terahertz (THz) radiation sources, but its efficiency is deeply affected by intrinsic losses. We find that if the tilted angle ( α ) of anisotropic material and radiation angle ( θ ) meet the condition of θ + α = π /2, the intensity of radi...
