On the Role of Atomic Binding Forces and Warm-Dense-Matter Physics in the Modeling of mJ-Class Laser-Induced Surface Ablation
Asher Davidson, George Petrov, Daniel Gordon +1
Ultrafast laser heating of electrons on a metal surface breaks the pressure equilibrium within the material, thus initiating ablation. The stasis of a room-temperature metal result…
Beating Optical Turbulence Limits Using High Peak-Power Lasers
Michael H. Helle, Gregory Dicomo, Samantha Gregory +6
We experimentally demonstrate the ability of a nonlinear self-channeling beam to resist turbulence-induced spreading and scintillation. Spatio-temporal data is presented for an 850…
Laser-Plasma Interactions Enabled by Emerging Technologies
J. P. Palastro, F. Albert, B. Albright +51
An overview from the past and an outlook for the future of fundamental laser-plasma interactions research enabled by emerging laser systems.
Bremsstrahlung radiation from the interaction of short laser pulses with dielectrics
G. M. Petrov, J. P. Palastro, J. Peñano
An intense, short laser pulse incident on a transparent dielectric can excite electrons from valence to the conduction band. As these electrons undergo scattering, both from phonon…
Synchrotron radiation from a curved plasma channel laser wakefield accelerator
J. P. Palastro, D. Kaganovich, B. Hafizi +5
A laser pulse guided in a curved plasma channel can excite wakefields that steer electrons along an arched trajectory. As the electrons are accelerated along the curved channel, th…
Two-photon vibrational excitation of air by long-wave infrared laser pulses
J. P. Palastro, J. Penano, L. A. Johnson +3
Ultrashort long-wave infrared (LWIR) laser pulses can resonantly excite vibrations in N2 and O2 through a two-photon transition. The absorptive, vibrational component of the ultraf…
