Wavefront shaping of terahertz radiation using two-color flying-focus pulses with time-dependent focal velocities

A. L. Elliott, H. Markland, K. G. Miller +3

Properly phased two-color laser pulses drive photoionization currents that emit broadband THz radiation. With a conventional two-color pulse, the ionization front travels at a near…

Experimental demonstration of Flying-Focus enhanced Thomson scattering

E. Gerstmayr, C. Mariani, R. Fitzgarrald +23

We report the experimental demonstration of a spatiotemporally engineered "Flying-Focus" laser pulse for enhanced x-ray generation in relativistic Thomson scattering. A combination…

Dephasingless laser wakefield acceleration in a plasma waveguide

J. P. Palastro, K. G. Miller, C. D. Arrowsmith +10

Laser wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) provide extremely large accelerating gradients for compact electron accelerators and photon sources but are limited by dephasing, where trapped…

Generalized multi-dimensional conservation laws for stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering in a density gradient

Vijay Patel, Sarah Chase, Frank S. Tsung +3

Generalized local and multi-dimensional conservation laws of action, energy, momentum, and angular momentum are derived for stimulated Raman (SRS) and Brillouin backscattering (SBS…

Arbitrary-Velocity Volkov Wavepackets

D. Ramsey, J. McKeown, J. P. Palastro

The evolution of a charged lepton in the field of an electromagnetic plane wave can be described as a superposition of Volkov states. Here we demonstrate that imposing specific mom…

Differentiable Programming for Plasma Physics: From Diagnostics to Discovery and Design

A. S. Joglekar, A. G. R. Thomas, A. L. Milder +3

Differentiable programming, enabled by automatic differentiation (AD), provides a robust framework for gradient-based optimization in computational plasma physics. While optimizati…

A Reduced Action Integral for Photon-Photon Interactions in Vacuum

D. Ramsey, M. S. Formanek, J. P. Palastro

Electromagnetic waves propagating through vacuum can polarize virtual electron-positron pairs; this polarization, in turn, nonlinearly modifies their propagation. A semi-classical…

Robust direct laser acceleration of electrons with flying-focus laser pulses

Talia Meir, Kale Weichman, Alexey Arefiev +2

Direct laser acceleration (DLA) offers a compact source of high-charge, energetic electrons for generating secondary radiation or neutrons. While DLA in high-density plasma optimiz…

Laser Wakefield Acceleration Driven by a Discrete Flying Focus

Jacob R. Pierce, Kyle G. Miller, Fei Li +2

Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) may enable the next generation of TeV-scale lepton colliders. Reaching such energies will likely require multiple LWFA stages to overcome limita…

Arbitrary-velocity laser pulses in plasma waveguides

J. P. Palastro, K. G. Miller, M. R. Edwards +4

Space-time structured laser pulses feature an intensity peak that can travel at an arbitrary velocity while maintaining a near-constant profile. These pulses can propagate in unifo…

Universal structure of propagation-invariant optical pulses

Rafael Russo Almeida, Dillon Ramsey, Ayman F. Abouraddy +2

Space-time structuring of light - where spatial and temporal degrees of freedom are deliberately coupled and controlled - is an emerging area of optics that enables novel configura…
