Optimization of vacuum acceleration with radially polarized laser beams having phase aberrations
Spencer W. Jolly
The strong electric fields from tightly-focused and ultrashort laser beams have always been discussed as a way to accelerate charged particles without any need for a medium or exte…
Space-time singularities in spatially-chirped Laguerre-Gaussian beams of any order
Spencer W. Jolly
The electric field distributions and space-time singularity curves are computed for ultrashort pulsed Laguerre-Gaussian laser beams having spatial chirp. Due to the breaking of cyl…
Programmable Focal Elongation and Shaping of High-Intensity Laser Pulses using Adaptive Optics
P. Blum, A. Puchert, E. Archer +7
Controlling the intensity distribution of laser pulses in the focal region is essential for optimizing optically generated plasma waveguides and enabling advanced plasma accelerati…
Enhanced spatiotemporal optical vortices and vortex chains from Hermite-Gauss modes with a tilted pulse front
Miguel A. Porras, Spencer W. Jolly
Hermite-Gaussian (HG) beams are standard modes delivered by continuous or pulsed lasers systems, and pulse-front tilt is one of the most common, detrimental or beneficial, spatiote…
Modeling the focusing of a radially-polarized laser beam with an initially flat-top intensity profile
Spencer W. Jolly
Radially-polarized light beams present very interesting and useful behavior for creating small intensity spots when tightly-focused, and manipulating nanostructures or charged part…
Generation of ultrashort light pulses carrying orbital angular momentum using a vortex plate retarder-based approach
Tlek Tapani, Haifeng Lin, Aitor De Andres +3
We use a vortex retarder-based approach to generate few optical cycles light pulses carrying orbital angular momentum (known also as twisted light or optical vortex) from a Yb:KGW…
Transverse orbital angular momentum imparted upon focusing spatio-temporally coupled ultrashort pulses
Miguel A. Porras, Spencer W. Jolly
A focusing system such as a single lens or a spherical mirror imparts intrinsic transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) to spatiotemporal (ST) coupled fields the ST intensity dis…
