  ABSTRACT: The tunneling ionization (TI) is the most dominated ionization process in the production of terahertz radiation by two femtosecond lasers, although its validity above the ionization threshold of some gases is uncertain. In the present research, we employ a 1D fluid code to simulate the efficiency of the produced terahertz radiation by two femtosecond laser beams in air plasma. Two ionization models in the context of the TI process which are the Ammosov-Delone-Krainov (ADK) for noble gases and its developed molecular ADK (MO-ADK) model for molecular gases are intrinsically used to conduct this study. The main target of the present research is to examine the validity of these models Above-Threshold-Ionization (ATI) of these gases. For this purpose, we simulated the ionization rate and the power spectrum of the produced radiation, in addition we numerically evaluated the efficiency of the produced radiation as function of the input beams intensity at particular energy fraction factor, relative phase and initial pulse duration of these beams. These calculations conducted for a selected noble gas at varying energy levels and a chosen molecular air plasma gas at different quantum numbers. Numerical results near and above the ionization threshold of the selected gases have clarified that the ADK and MO-ADK model are successful valid to study the efficiency of the produced THz radiation at low energy levels and small quantum numbers of the selected gases, meanwhile, with any further increase in the energy level and the quantum number values of these gases, both of the ADK and MO-ADK are failed to correctly analyze the efficiency process and estimate its fundamental parameters.
