Multi-kilohertz laser plasma acceleration driven by an industrial-grade Yb:YAG laser
Bonaventura Farace, Nikita Khodakovskiy, Rob Shalloo +10
Laser plasma accelerators (LPAs) are a promising platform for compact radiation sources. For a wide range of applications, including radiotherapy, ultrafast electron diffraction an…
Compact, folded multi-pass cells for energy scaling of post-compression
Arthur Schönberg, Supriya Rajhans, Esmerando Escoto +12
Combining high peak and high average power has long been a key challenge of ultrafast laser technology, crucial for applications such as laser-plasma acceleration and strong-field…
Post-compression of multi-mJ picosecond pulses to few-cycles approaching the terawatt regime
Supriya Rajhans, Esmerando Escoto, Nikita Khodakovskiy +10
Advancing ultrafast high-repetition-rate lasers to shortest pulse durations comprising only a few optical cycles while pushing their energy into the multi-millijoule regime opens a…
Confined Continuous-Flow Plasma Source For High-Average-Power Laser Plasma Acceleration
B. Farace, R. J. Shalloo, K. Põder +1
Over the last decades, significant advances in high-power laser systems have enabled rapid progress in the development of laser-driven plasma accelerators. Today, the results obtai…
