Plasma mirrors as a path to the Schwinger limit
L. Chopineau, A. Denoeud, A. Leblanc +4
Reaching light intensities above W/cm and up to the Schwinger limit ( W/cm) would enable testing decades-old fundamental predictions of Quantum Elect…
Identification of coupling mechanisms between ultraintense laser light and dense plasmas
L. Chopineau, A. Leblanc, G. Blaclard +7
The interaction of intense laser beams with plasmas created on solid targets involves a rich non-linear physics. Because such dense plasmas are reflective for laser light, the coup…
Optical Properties of Relativistic Plasma Mirrors
H. Vincenti, S. Monchocé, S. Kahaly +2
The advent of ultrahigh-power femtosecond lasers creates a need for optical components suitable to handle ultrahigh light intensities. Due to the unavoidable laser-induced ionizati…
Evidence of resonant surface wave excitation in the relativistic regime through measurements of proton acceleration from grating targets
T. Ceccotti, V. Floquet, A. Sgattoni +25
The interaction of laser pulses with thin grating targets, having a periodic groove at the irradiated surface, has been experimentally investigated. Ultrahigh contrast ($\sim 10^{1…
