Generation of directed electron beams by tight focusing of an ultrashort IR laser in a near-critical plasma
Marianna Lytova, François Fillion-Gourdeau, Simon Vallières +4
Recent studies have demonstrated the possibility of accelerating electrons to MeV energies in ambient air using tightly focused laser configurations. In this article, we explore po…
Ambient air plasma acceleration in tightly-focused ultrashort infrared laser beams
Marianna Lytova, François Fillion-Gourdeau, Simon Vallières +3
Recent experimental and theoretical results have demonstrated the possibility of accelerating electrons in the MeV range by focusing tightly a few-cycle laser beam in ambient air.…
Relativistic electrons from vacuum laser acceleration using tightly focused radially polarized beams
Jeffrey Powell, Spencer W. Jolly, Simon Vallières +7
We generate a tabletop pulsed relativistic electron beam at 100 Hz repetition rate from vacuum laser acceleration (VLA) by tightly focusing a radially polarized beam into a low-den…
High Dose-Rate Ionizing Radiation Source from Tight Focusing in Air of a mJ-class Femtosecond Laser
S. Vallières, J. Powell, T. Connell +7
Ultrashort electron beams with femtosecond to picosecond bunch durations offer unique opportunities to explore active research areas ranging from ultrafast structural dynamics to u…
3D-Printed Photocathodes for Resonant, Terahertz-Field-Driven Ultrafast Electron Emission
Andrea Rovere, Riccardo Piccoli, Andrea Bertoncini +9
Ultrashort photoemitted electron bunches can provide high electron currents within sub-picosecond timeframes, enabling time-resolved investigations of ultrafast physical processes…
Single shot phase contrast imaging using laser-produced Betatron x-ray beams
S. Fourmaux, S. Corde, K. Ta Phuoc +8
Development of x-ray phase contrast imaging applications with a laboratory scale source have been limited by the long exposure time needed to obtain one image. We demonstrate, usin…
Demonstration of the synchrotron-type spectrum of laser-produced Betatron radiation
S. Fourmaux, S. Corde, K. Ta Phuoc +10
Betatron X-ray radiation in laser-plasma accelerators is produced when electrons are accelerated and wiggled in the laser-wakefield cavity. This femtosecond source, producing inten…
