Enhanced dynamic range spatio-spectral metrology of few-cycle laser pulses
Cristian Alexe, Aaron Liberman, Saga Westerberg +13
Accurate spatio-temporal and spatio-spectral metrology is critical to the characterization and use of ultra-short, high-power lasers. The emergence of few cycle pulses, with bandwi…

Energy Bunching from Sub-Cycle Ionization Injection in Laser Wakefield Acceleration
A. Angella, E. Löfquist, C. Gustafsson +7
We report the first experimental observation of carrier-envelope phase-driven energy bunching in laser wakefield acceleration. Using a few-cycle (~9 fs), multi-terawatt laser pulse…

Compton photons at the GeV scale from self-aligned collisions with a plasma mirror
Aimé Matheron, Jean-Raphaël Marquès, Vincent Lelasseux +34
With today's multi-petawatt lasers, testing quantum electrodynamics (QED) in the strong field regime, where the electric field exceeds the Schwinger critical field in the rest fram…
