Compression of ultrashort UV pulses in a self-defocusing gas
L. Berge, C. Koehler, S. Skupin
Compression of UV femtosecond laser pulses focused into a gas cell filled with xenon is reported numerically. With a large negative Kerr index and normal dispersion, xenon promotes…
High-quality ion beams from a nanometric double-layer target and their application to hadron-therapy
M. Grech, S. Skupin, R. Nuter +2
The production of ion beams from the interaction of a circularly polarized laser pulse with a nanometric double-layer target is discussed in the regime where all electrons are expe…
Tracking azimuthons in nonlocal nonlinear media
F. Maucher, D. Buccoliero, S. Skupin +3
We study the formation of azimuthons, i.e., rotating spatial solitons, in media with nonlocal focusing nonlinearity. We show that whole families of these solutions can be found by…
High-quality ion beams by irradiating a nano-structured target with a petawatt laser pulse
M. Grech, S. Skupin, R. Nuter +2
We present a novel laser based ion acceleration scheme, where a petawatt circularly polarized laser pulse is shot on an ultra-thin (nano-scale) double-layer target. Our scheme allo…
