Status report of the ESCULAP project at Orsay: External injection of low energy electrons in a Plasma
Elsa Baynard, Christelle Bruni, Kevin Cassou +20
The ESCULAP project aims at studying external injection of low energy (\SI{10}{MeV}) electrons in a plasma in the quasilinear regime. This facility will use the photo injector PHIL…
The DeLLight experiment to observe an optically-induced change of the vacuum index
Scott Robertson, Aurélie Mailliet, Xavier Sarazin +7
Quantum electrodynamics predicts that the vacuum must behave as a nonlinear optical medium: the speed of light should be modified when the vacuum is stressed by intense electromagn…
Extreme-ultraviolet structured beams via high harmonic generation
Alok Kumar Pandey, Alba de las Heras, Julio San Román +9
Vigorous efforts to harness the topological properties of light have enabled a multitude of novel applications. Translating the applications of structured light to higher spatial a…
Interferometric measurement of the deflection of light by light in air
Adrien E. Kraych, Aurélie Max Mailliet, François Couchot +8
The aim of the DeLLight (Deflection of Light by Light) experiment is to observe for the first time the optical nonlinearity in vacuum, as predicted by Quantum Electrodynamics, by m…
35 megawatt multicycle THz pulses from a homemade periodically poled macrocrystal
Francois Lemery, Thomas Vinatier, Frank Mayet +7
High-power multicycle THz radiation is highly sought after with applications in medicine, imaging, spectroscopy, characterization and manipulation of condensed matter, and could su…
Toward quantum-noise-limited interferometric measurements of optical nonlinearity in vacuum
Ali Aras, Adrien E. Kraych, Xavier Sarazin +3
Quantum Electrodynamics predicts that the vacuum must behave as a nonlinear optical medium: the vacuum optical index should increase when it is stressed by intense electromagnetic…
