Ultra-Short flying-focus

Jérôme Touguet, Igor A. Andriyash, Lucas Rovige +1

Achromatic flying-focus enables programmable control of intensity peak velocity, with applications in ultrafast optics. However, spatiotemporal coupling inherently elongates ultras…

Collisionless Larmor Coupling and Blob Formation in a Laser-Plasma Expanding into a Magnetized Ambient Plasma

Lucas Rovige, Robert S. Dorst, Ari Le +8

Collisionless Larmor coupling is a fundamental process in space and astrophysical plasmas that enables momentum transfer between an expanding plasma and a magnetized ambient medium…

Advanced Shaping of Quasi-Bessel Beams for High-Intensity Applications

Jérôme Touguet, Igor Andriyash, Ronan Lahaye +4

Quasi-Bessel beams produced by axiparabolas are increasingly used in high-intensity laser applications, yet their longitudinal profiles exhibit unwanted oscillations that limit the…

Laboratory study of magnetic reconnection in lunar-relevant mini-magnetospheres

Lucas Rovige, Filipe D. Cruz, Robert S. Dorst +7

Mini-magnetospheres are small ion-scale structures that are well-suited to studying kinetic-scale physics of collisionless space plasmas. Such ion-scale magnetospheres can be found…

Two-dimensional Thomson scattering in high-repetition-rate laser-plasma experiments

H. Zhang, J. J. Pilgram, C. G. Constantin +7

We present the first two-dimensional (2D) optical Thomson scattering measurements of electron density and temperature in laser-produced plasmas. The novel instrument directly measu…

Carrier-envelope phase controlled dynamics of relativistic electron beams in a laser-wakefield accelerator

Lucas Rovige, Joséphine Monzac, Julius Huijts +13

In laser-wakefield acceleration, an ultra-intense laser pulse is focused into an underdense plasma in order to accelerate electrons to relativistic velocities. In most cases, the p…

Waveform control of relativistic electron dynamics in an underdense plasma

Julius Huijts, Lucas Rovige, Igor A. Andriyash +6

The interaction of ultra-intense laser pulses with an underdense plasma is used in laser-plasma acceleration to create compact sources of ultrashort pulses of relativistic electron…

Symmetric and asymmetric shocked gas jets for laser-plasma experiments

Lucas Rovige, Julius Huijts, Aline Vernier +9

Shocks in supersonic flows offer both a high-density and sharp density gradients that can be used, for instance,for gradient injection in laser-plasma accelerators. We report on a…

Optimization and stabilization of a kilohertz laser-plasma accelerator

L. Rovige, J. Huijts, I. A. Andriyash +13

Laser plasma acceleration at kilohertz repetition rate has recently been shown to work in two different regimes, with pulse lengths of either 30 fs or 3.5 fs. We now report on a sy…

Dosimetric characterisation and application to radiation biology of a kHz laser-driven electron beam

Marco Cavallone, Lucas Rovige, Julius Huijts +8

Laser-plasma accelerators can produce ultra short electron bunches in the femtosecond to picosecond duration range, resulting in high peak dose rates in comparison with clinical ac…
