In this paper we measured the dependence of the signal of the third harmonic and terahertz radiation on the mutual polarization of the first and second harmonic to compare the mechanisms of their generation. For this purpose we used the output radiation of laser system Spitfire pro with the following parameters: pulse duration 35 fs, central wavelength 800nm, repetition rate 1kHz, energy of the first and second harmonic are 2mJ and 240mJ respectively. The radiation was focused by parabolic mirror with focal length 7,5 cm in air. The energy of terahertz and third harmonic radiation was measured by Holey cell and photomultiplier respectively.
