Joint Amplitude-Phase Optimization of Broadband Lasers Raises Absolute Two-Plasmon-Decay Thresholds Above Coherence-Time Predictions
A. S. Joglekar, R. K. Follett, D. H. Froula +1
Broadband lasers suppress the absolute two-plasmon-decay instability that preheats inertial-fusion targets. The usual scaling relates this suppression to the drive's coherence time…
Laboratory realization of relativistic pair-plasma beams
C. D. Arrowsmith, P. Simon, P. Bilbao +26
Relativistic electron-positron plasmas are ubiquitous in extreme astrophysical environments such as black holes and neutron star magnetospheres, where accretion-powered jets and pu…
Dephasingless laser wakefield acceleration in the bubble regime
Kyle G. Miller, Jacob R. Pierce, Manfred V. Ambat +5
Laser wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) have electric fields that are orders of magnitude larger than those of conventional accelerators, promising an attractive, small-scale alternat…
Spatiotemporal control of two-color terahertz generation
Tanner T. Simpson, Jeremy J. Pigeon, Manfred Virgil Ambat +5
A laser pulse composed of a fundamental and properly phased second harmonic exhibits an asymmetric electric field that can drive a time-dependent current of photoionized electrons.…
Cross-beam energy transfer in conditions relevant to direct-drive implosions on OMEGA
K. L. Nguyen, L. Yin, B. J. Albright +5
In cross-beam energy transfer (CBET), the interference of two laser beams ponderomotively drives an ion-acoustic wave that coherently scatters light from one beam into the other. T…
Exact solutions for the electromagnetic fields of a flying focus
D. Ramsey, A. Di Piazza, M. Formanek +10
The intensity peak of a "flying focus" travels at a programmable velocity over many Rayleigh ranges while maintaining a near-constant profile. Assessing the extent to which these f…
