Dispersive Properties of Plasma Diffraction Gratings: Towards Plasma-Based Laser Pulse Compression
Victor M. Perez-Ramirez, Michelle M. Wang, Ke Ou +10
The standard architecture for a high-peak-power femtosecond laser is chirped pulse amplification using diffraction gratings for compression; the damage threshold of the compression…
Near-Unity-Efficiency Gas Gratings for Ultraviolet, Visible, and Infrared High-Power Lasers
Ke Ou, Harsha Rajesh, Sida Cao +13
Interfering deep ultraviolet (DUV) lasers can induce substantial density modulations in an ozone-doped gas flow via photochemical reactions, creating volume diffraction gratings. T…
Focusing Terawatt-Scale Lasers Using Holographic Gaseous Lenses
Devdigvijay Singh, Ke Ou, Sida Cao +13
The capabilities of the world's highest energy and peak-power pulsed lasers are limited by optical damage, and further advances in high-intensity laser science will require optics…
High-energy transient gas pinholes via saturated absorption
Ke Ou, Victor M. Perez-Ramirez, Sida Cao +6
This letter presents a spatial filter based on saturated absorption in gas as a replacement for the solid pinhole in a lens-pinhole-lens filtering system. We show that an ultraviol…
Greater than five-order-of-magnitude post-compression temporal contrast improvement with an ionization plasma grating
Matthew R. Edwards, Nicholas M. Fasano, Andreas M. Giakas +7
High-intensity lasers require suppression of prepulses and other non-ideal temporal structure to avoid target disruption before the arrival of the main pulse. To address this, we d…
