In this paper,we first present an experimental demonstration of terahertz radiation pulse generation with energy up to 5 pJ under the electron emission during ultrafast optical discharge of a vacuum photodiode.We use a femtosecond optical excitation of metallic copper photocathode for the generation of ultrashort electron bunch and up to 45 kV/cm external electric field for the photo-emitted electron acceleration.Measurements of terahertz pulses energy as a function of emitted charge density,incidence angle of optical radiation and applied electric field have been provided.Spectral and polarization characteristics of generated terahertz pulses have also been studied.The proposed semi-analytical model and simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics prove the experimental data and allow for the optimization of experimental conditions aimed at flexible control of radiation parameters.
