The generation of terahertz(THz)waves by focusing a femtosecond pulsed laser beam at a distance is able to overcome the strong absorption properties of air and has rapidly attracted the attention of industry.However,the poor directionality of the THz wave radiation generated by this method is not conducive to THz wave applications.By controlling the morphol-ogy of the ultrafast laser-excited plasma filament and its electron density distribution through coherent beam combining technology,we achieve direct THz beam shaping and are able to obtain THz wave radiation of Gaussian or arbitrary trans-verse distribution.The novel experimental approach proposed in this paper opens up the research field of direct THz wave shaping using plasma.Moreover,it innovates multi-parameter convergence algorithms and,by doing so,has the potential to find beam patterns with higher energy conversion efficiency and break the energy limit of THz waves emitted by lasers at high power.
