Joint Amplitude-Phase Optimization of Broadband Lasers Raises Absolute Two-Plasmon-Decay Thresholds Above Coherence-Time Predictions
A. S. Joglekar, R. K. Follett, D. H. Froula +1
Broadband lasers suppress the absolute two-plasmon-decay instability that preheats inertial-fusion targets. The usual scaling relates this suppression to the drive's coherence time…

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…
