Beam Distortion Effects upon focusing an ultrashort Petawatt Laser Pulse to greater than 10 W/cm
Ganesh Tiwari, Erhard Gaul, Mikael Martinez +15
When an ultrashort laser pulse is tightly focused to a size approaching its central wavelength, the properties of the focused spot diverge from the diffraction limited case. Here w…
Probing the quantum vacuum with ultra intense laser pulses
B. Manuel Hegelich, Gerard Mourou, Johann Rafelski
This article presents: 1) The theoretical background of strong field physics and vacuum structure and stability; 2) The instrumental developments in the area of pulse lasers and co…
Single-Shot 60 dB Dynamic Range Laser Contrast Measurement Using Self-Referencing Spectral Interferometry
Sasi Palaniyappan, R. P. Johnson, T. Shimada +5
High dynamic range contrast measurement of laser pulses is typically obtained by cross-correlating the laser pulse with a self-generated reference laser pulse directly in the tempo…
