Flying focus with arbitrary directionality for spatiotemporal control of laser pulses
Sida Cao, Devdigvijay Singh, Lavonne S. Mack +2
Flying focus techniques produce laser pulses whose focal points travel at arbitrary, controllable velocities. While this flexibility can enhance a broad range of laser-based applic…
Path to a Single-Stage, 100-GeV Electron Beam via a Flying-Focus-Driven Laser-Plasma Accelerator
J. L. Shaw, M. V. Ambat, K. G. Miller +9
Dephasingless laser wakefield acceleration (DLWFA), a novel laser wakefield acceleration concept based on the recently demonstrated "flying focus" technology, offers a new paradigm…
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…
X-ray free-electron lasing in a flying-focus undulator
D. Ramsey, B. Malaca, T. T. Simpson +5
Laser-driven free-electron lasers (LDFELs) replace magnetostatic undulators with the electromagnetic fields of a laser pulse. Because the undulator period is half the wavelength of…
