Optimized matching conditions for self-guided laser wakefield accelerators
P. Valenta, K. G. Miller, B. K. Russell +4
We revisit the matching conditions for self-guided laser pulse propagation in plasma and refine their formulation to maximize the energy of electrons produced via laser wakefield a…

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…

Spatiotemporal control of high-intensity laser pulses with a plasma lens
D. Li, K. G. Miller, J. R. Pierce +3
Spatiotemporal control encompasses a variety of techniques for producing laser pulses with dynamic intensity peaks that move independently of the group velocity. This controlled mo…
