The importance of temperature-dependent collision frequency in PIC simulation on nanometric density evolution of highly-collisional strongly-coupled dense plasmas
Mohammadreza Banjafar, Lisa Randolph, Lingen Huang +17
Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method is a powerful plasma simulation tool for investigating high-intensity femtosecond laser-matter interaction. However, its simulation capability at high…
Probing the dynamics of solid density micro-wire targets after ultra-intense laser irradiation using a free-electron laser
Thomas Kluge, Michael Bussmann, Eric Galtier +22
In this paper, we present an experiment that explores the plasma dynamics of a 7 micron diameter carbon wire after being irradiated with a near-relativistic-intensity short pulse l…
Nanoscale subsurface dynamics of solids upon high-intensity laser irradiation observed by femtosecond grazing-incidence x-ray scattering
Lisa Randolph, Mohammadreza Banjafar, Thomas R. Preston +28
Observing ultrafast laser-induced structural changes in nanoscale systems is essential for understanding the dynamics of intense light-matter interactions. For laser intensities on…
On-Shot Characterization of Single Plasma Mirror Temporal Contrast Improvement
Lieselotte Obst, Josefine Metzkes-Ng, Stefan Bock +12
We report on the setup and commissioning of a compact recollimating single plasma mirror for temporal contrast enhancement at the Draco 150 TW laser during laser-proton acceleratio…
Observation of ultrafast solid-density plasma dynamics using femtosecond X-ray pulses from a free-electron laser
Thomas Kluge, Melanie Rödel, Josefine Metzkes +23
The complex physics of the interaction between short pulse high intensity lasers and solids is so far hardly accessible by experiments. As a result of missing experimental capabili…
Relativistic electron streaming instabilities modulate proton beams accelerated in laser-plasma interactions
S. Göde, C. Rödel, K. Zeil +16
We report experimental evidence that multi-MeV protons accelerated in relativistic laser-plasma interactions are modulated by strong filamentary electromagnetic fields. Modulations…
Attosecond Control of Relativistic Electron Bunches using Two-Colour Fields
M. Yeung, S. Rykovanov, J. Bierbach +10
Energy coupling during relativistically intense laser-matter interactions is encoded in the attosecond motion of strongly driven electrons at the pre-formed plasma-vacuum boundary.…
Enhanced harmonic generation in relativistic laser plasma interaction
C. Rödel, E. Eckner, J. Bierbach +12
We report the enhancement of individual harmonics generated at a relativistic ultra-steep plasma vacuum interface. Simulations show the harmonic emission to be due to the coupled a…
Relativistic Frequency Synthesis of Light Fields
C. Rödel, E. Eckner, J. Bierbach +12
Waveform shaping and frequency synthesis based on waveform modulation is ubiquitous in electronics, telecommunication technology, and optics. For optical waveforms, the carrier fre…
Thomson backscattering from laser generated, relativistically moving high-density electron layers
Athena E. Paz, Stephan Kuschel, Christian Rödel +4
We show experimentally that XUV radiation is produced when a laser pulse is Thomson backscattered from sheets of relativistic electrons which are formed at the rear-surface of a fo…
Harmonic Generation from Relativistic Plasma Surfaces in Ultra-Steep Plasma Density Gradients
Christian Rödel, Daniel an der Brügge, Jana Bierbach +19
Harmonic generation in the limit of ultra-steep density gradients is studied experimentally. Observations demonstrate that while the efficient generation of high order harmonics fr…
A large aperture reflective wave-plate for high-intensity short-pulse laser experiments
Bastian Aurand, Christian Rödel, Huanyu Zhao +8
We report on a reflective wave-plate system utilizing phase-shifting mirrors (PSM) for a continuous variation of elliptical polarization without changing the beam position and dire…
