Ambient air plasma acceleration in tightly-focused ultrashort infrared laser beams
Marianna Lytova, François Fillion-Gourdeau, Simon Vallières +3
Recent experimental and theoretical results have demonstrated the possibility of accelerating electrons in the MeV range by focusing tightly a few-cycle laser beam in ambient air.…

Relativistic electrons from vacuum laser acceleration using tightly focused radially polarized beams
Jeffrey Powell, Spencer W. Jolly, Simon Vallières +7
We generate a tabletop pulsed relativistic electron beam at 100 Hz repetition rate from vacuum laser acceleration (VLA) by tightly focusing a radially polarized beam into a low-den…
