We compare detailed spatio-temporal propagation simulations with experiments on generation of terahertz (THz) pulses in single filaments with two-color optical excitation, which elucidates the mechanism whereby positively chirped optical pulses lead to the maximum THz yield. The long-wavelength components in the leading edge of the positively chirped 2 omega-pulse preserve the overlap with the omega-pulse. The THz yield is extremely sensitive to the temporal overlap: for a 35-fs x-pulse, the yield decreases by an order of magnitude upon a omega-2 omega pulse shift of only 5 fs.
