Optical air waveguides in strong turbulence
A. Goffin, G. I. Babić, H. M. Milchberg
Filament-generated air waveguides offer a route to low loss long-distance optical transport, but their viability in atmospheric turbulence has remained uncertain. Here, we demonstr…
RPC Telescope Tests for Muon Detection at Laser-Plasma Accelerators
Sumaira Ikram, Maxime Lagrange, Donya Ahmadi +10
We report on a feasibility study conducted at the ELBA facility at ELI Beamlines in 2025 to investigate the possible production of muons from high-energy electron beams generated b…
Plasma waveguides for high-intensity laser pulses
J. E. Shrock, B. Miao, E. Rockafellow +1
Fundamental to many applications of laser pulses in science and technology is an extended interaction length with matter that significantly exceeds the distance over which the puls…
High-repetition-rate, all-reflective optical guiding and electron acceleration in helium using an off-axis axicon
Jiří Šišma, Michal Nevrkla, Filip Vitha +17
We present recent results on high-power guiding and laser wakefield acceleration in the ELectron Beam Accelerator (ELBA) beamline at ELI Beamlines, using the L3-HAPLS laser system…
Excitation of Giant Surface Waves During Laser Wake Field Acceleration
Travis Garrett, Christopher Pieronek, E. Rockafellow +7
We have detected the presence of very high intensity surface waves that are excited during plasma waveguided laser wakefield acceleration. Wakefield acceleration can be enchanced b…
Longitudinal shaping of plasma waveguides using diffractive axicons for laser wakefield acceleration
N. Tripathi, B. Miao, A. Sloss +4
New techniques for the optical generation of plasma waveguides -- optical fibres for ultra-intense light pulses -- have become vital to the advancement of multi-GeV laser wakefield…
Transverse orbital angular momentum: setting the record straight
N. Tripathi, S. W. Hancock, H. M. Milchberg
The nature of the transverse orbital angular momentum (tOAM) associated with spatiotemporal optical vortex (STOV) pulses has been the subject of recent debate. We demonstrate that…
Meter-scale supersonic gas jets for multi-GeV laser-plasma accelerators
B. Miao, J. E. Shrock, E. Rockafellow +2
Pushing the high energy frontier of laser wakefield electron acceleration (LWFA) to 10 GeV and beyond requires extending the propagation of relativistic intensity pulses to ~1 m in…
Transverse orbital angular momentum of amplitude-perturbed fields
S. W. Hancock, N. Tripathi, M. S. Le +2
We measure the change in transverse orbital angular momentum (tOAM) per photon, delta L_y, applied to an optical pulse by a pure amplitude perturbation. The results are in excellen…
Remote detection of radioactive material using a short pulse CO2 laser
A. Zingale, S. Waczynski, I. Pogorelsky +4
Detection of radioactive material at distances greater than the radiated particle range is an important goal with applications in areas such as national defense and disaster respon…
Matched Guiding and Controlled Injection in Dark-Current-Free, 10-GeV-Class, Channel-Guided Laser Plasma Accelerators
A. Picksley, J. Stackhouse, C. Benedetti +12
We measure the high intensity laser propagation throughout meter-scale, channel-guided LPAs by adjusting the length of the plasma channel on a shot-by-shot basis, showing high qual…
Benchmarking of hydrodynamic plasma waveguides for multi-GeV laser-driven electron acceleration
B. Miao, E. Rockafellow, J. E. Shrock +3
Hydrodynamic plasma waveguides initiated by optical field ionization (OFI) have recently become a key component of multi-GeV laser wakefield accelerators. Here, we present the most…
Self-focused pulse propagation is mediated by spatiotemporal optical vortices
M. S. Le, G. A. Hine, A. Goffin +2
We show that the dynamics of high-intensity laser pulses undergoing self-focused propagation in a nonlinear medium can be understood in terms of the topological constraints imposed…
Spatiotemporal torquing of light
S. W. Hancock, S. Zahedpour, A. Goffin +1
We demonstrate the controlled spatiotemporal transfer of transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) to electromagnetic waves: the spatiotemporal torquing of light. This is a radical…
Optical guiding in 50-meter-scale air waveguides
