Experimental Scaling of Diffraction Efficiency in Laser-Induced Plasma Gratings
M. M. Wang, V. M. Perez-Ramirez, N. M. Fasano +8
We demonstrate efficient diffraction of intense ultrashort laser pulses using optical-field-ionization-induced plasma-neutral gratings formed by spatially structured ionization of…

Dispersive Properties of Plasma Diffraction Gratings: Towards Plasma-Based Laser Pulse Compression
Victor M. Perez-Ramirez, Michelle M. Wang, Ke Ou +10
The standard architecture for a high-peak-power femtosecond laser is chirped pulse amplification using diffraction gratings for compression; the damage threshold of the compression…

Attosecond Nonlinear Quantum Electrodynamics in Laser-Driven Plasmas via Two-Photon Synchrotron Emission
Vedin Dewan, Aleksei M. Zheltikov, Julia M. Mikhailova
Ultrafast strong-field laser--plasma physics is shown to offer a promising framework for relativistic nonlinear quantum electrodynamics (QED). As one of its key advantages, this ap…
