A homodyne detection scheme for all-optical photon-photon scattering experiments using 2D detectors
Timo Pohle, Leonard Doyle, Paul Ihde +3
Low signal-to-noise ratios are a common problem in experiments attempting to measure photon-photon scattering. In the optical regime, where petawatt lasers with femtosecond pulse d…
Resonant Excitation of Surface Plasmon for Wakefield Acceleration by Beating GW Lasers on Smooth Cylindrical Surface
Bifeng Lei, Hao Zhang, Alexandre Bonatto +5
We present a theoretical and numerical study of resonant surface-plasmon (SP) excitation driven by the beating of two co-propagating laser pulses on a smooth cylindrical plasma-vac…
Simulating vacuum birefringence with a diffractive beam propagation code
Aimé Matheron, Michal Šmíd, Matt Zepf +1
Ninety years after their prediction, quantum vacuum nonlinearities in macroscopic electromagnetic fields still await a direct experimental verification in the laboratory. A particu…
Back-reflection in dipole fields and beyond
Maksim Valialshchikov, Felix Karbstein, Daniel Seipt +1
Quantum reflection is a fascinating signature of the quantum vacuum that emerges from inhomogeneities in the electromagnetic fields. In pursuit of the prospective real-world implem…
Determination of few femtosecond to attosecond electron bunch durations using a passive plasma lens
Andreas Seidel, Carola Zepter, Alexander Sävert +2
Determining the pulse duration of femtosecond electron bunches is challenging and often experimentally invasive. An effective method for measuring the duration based on the time-de…
The Darkfield Approach to Measuring Vacuum Birefringence and Light-by-Light Couplings -- A Proof-of-Principle Experiment
