Which consequence results when dielectric breakdown surpasses a threshold voltage during terahertz pulse propagation inside a waveguide?

A)Waveguide impedance decreases gradually
B)Pulse phase velocity is unaffected
C)Reverse current propagation dominance
D)Carrier avalanche causes plasma formation

💡 Explanation

Plasma formation ensues because impact ionization avalanches when terahertz pulses reach breakdown voltage, enhancing free carrier density and generating plasma; therefore, the intense electric field from pulse propagation enables ionization, rather than linear processes.
