Demonstration of tunability of HOFI waveguides via start-to-end simulations
S. M. Mewes, G. J. Boyle, A. Ferran Pousa +7
In recent years, hydrodynamic optical-field-ionized (HOFI) channels have emerged as a promising technique to create laser waveguides suitable for guiding tightly-focused laser puls…
Meter-Scale, Conditioned Hydrodynamic Optical-Field-Ionized Plasma Channels
A. Picksley, A. Alejo, R. J. Shalloo +9
We demonstrate through experiments and numerical simulations that low-density, low-loss, meter-scale plasma channels can be generated by employing a conditioning laser pulse to ion…
Low-Density Hydrodynamic Optical-Field-Ionized Plasma Channels Generated With An Axicon Lens
R. J. Shalloo, C. Arran, A. Picksley +9
We demonstrate optical guiding of high-intensity laser pulses in long, low density hydrodynamic optical-field-ionized (HOFI) plasma channels. An axicon lens is used to generate HOF…
Reconstructing nonlinear plasma wakefields using a generalized temporally encoded spectral shifting analysis
C. Arran, N. H. Matlis, R. Walczak +1
We generalize the temporally encoded spectral shifting (TESS) analysis for measuring plasma wakefields using spectral interferometry to dissimilar probe pulses of arbitrary spectra…
Hydrodynamic, Optically-Field-Ionized (HOFI) Plasma Channels
Robert Shalloo, Christopher Arran, Laura Corner +5
We present experiments and numerical simulations which demonstrate that fully-ionized, low-density plasma channels could be formed by hydrodynamic expansion of plasma columns produ…
Excitation and Control of Plasma Wakefields by Multiple Laser Pulses
James Cowley, Christopher Thornton, Christopher Arran +9
We demonstrate experimentally the resonant excitation of plasma waves by trains of laser pulses. We also take an important first step to achieving an energy recovery plasma acceler…
