	Intense, short laser pulses propagating through inhomogeneous plasma can ponderomotively drive THz radiation. Here we consider a transition radiation mechanism (TRM) for THz generation as a laser pulse crosses a plasma boundary. Full format PIC simulations and theoretical analysis are conducted demonstrating that TRM results in low frequency, broad band, coherent THz radiation. The effect of a density ramp is also considered and shown to enhance the radiated energy.
