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…
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…
