Boosting quantum vacuum signatures by coherent harmonic focusing
Felix Karbstein, Alexander Blinne, Holger Gies +1
We show that coherent harmonic focusing provides an efficient mechanism to boost all-optical signatures of quantum vacuum nonlinearity in the collision of high-intensity laser fiel…
The Vacuum Emission Picture Beyond Paraxial Approximation
Alexander Blinne, Holger Gies, Felix Karbstein +2
Optical signatures of the effective nonlinear couplings among electromagnetic fields in the quantum vacuum can be conveniently described in terms of stimulated photon emission proc…
Photon-Photon Scattering at the High-Intensity Frontier: Paraxial Beams
Alexander Blinne, Holger Gies, Felix Karbstein +2
Our goal is to study optical signatures of quantum vacuum nonlinearities in strong macroscopic electromagnetic fields provided by high-intensity laser beams. The vacuum emission sc…
All-optical signatures of quantum vacuum nonlinearities in generic laser fields
Alexander Blinne, Holger Gies, Felix Karbstein +2
All-optical experiments at the high-intensity frontier offer a promising route to unprecedented precision tests of quantum electrodynamics in strong macroscopic electromagnetic fie…
Efficient retrieval of phase information from real-valued electromagnetic field data
Alexander Blinne, Stephan Kuschel, Stefan Tietze +1
While analytic calculations may give access to complex-valued electromagnetic field data which allow trivial access to envelope and phase information, the majority of numeric codes…
A Systematic Approach to Numerical Dispersion in Maxwell Solvers
Alexander Blinne, David Schinkel, Stephan Kuschel +3
The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is a well established method for solving the time evolution of Maxwell's equations. Unfortunately the scheme introduces numerical di…
Electron Positron Pair Production in Strong Electric Fields
Alexander Blinne
This work covers electron positron pair production in spatially homogeneous electric (and magnetic) fields. Different field configurations are looked at in order to study various p…
Comparison of semiclassical and Wigner function methods in pair production in rotating fields
Alexander Blinne, Eckhard Strobel
We present a comparison of two methods to compute the momentum spectrum and the Schwinger pair creation rate for pulsed rotating electric fields: one based upon the real-time Dirac…
Pair Production in Rotating Electric Fields
Alexander Blinne, Holger Gies
We explore Schwinger pair production in rotating time-dependent electric fields using the real-time DHW formalism. We determine the time evolution of the Wigner function as well as…
