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…
Post-compression of a Q-switched laser in a glass-rod multi-pass cell
Peer Biesterfeld, Arthur Schönberg, Marc Seitz +14
Q-switched lasers are compact, cost-effective, and highly pulse energy-scalable sources for nanosecond-scale laser pulses. The technology has been developed for many decades and is…
Towards direct nonlinear compression of energetic sub-nanosecond pulses to the ultrafast regime
Gaspard Beaufort, Nayla Jimenez, Gunnar Arisholm +5
Applications of terawatt-class lasers can enormously benefit from pulse trains with kHz repetition rates. The associated unprecedented combinations of peak and average powers requi…
Redirection and Reshaping of Intense Extreme-Ultraviolet Radiation
Yu He, Alexander Magunia, Harijyoti Mandal +29
The goal to control short-wavelength radiation for the investigation and manipulation of ultrafast dynamics in quantum systems coevolves with the growing availability of extreme-ul…
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…
