Phase-controlled direct laser acceleration enabled by longitudinal variation of the laser-driven quasi-static plasma magnetic field
R. Bhakta, I-L. Yeh, K. Tangtartharakul +2
Direct laser acceleration (DLA) enables energy transfer from an ultra-high-intensity laser to plasma electrons and underpins many laser-driven particle and radiation-source concept…
Robust direct laser acceleration of electrons with flying-focus laser pulses
Talia Meir, Kale Weichman, Alexey Arefiev +2
Direct laser acceleration (DLA) offers a compact source of high-charge, energetic electrons for generating secondary radiation or neutrons. While DLA in high-density plasma optimiz…
Enhanced energy gain through higher-order resonances during direct laser acceleration with superluminal phase velocity
I-Lin Yeh, Kavin Tangtartharakul, Rohan Bhakta +3
Ultra-high intensity laser-plasma interactions can produce ultra-relativistic electrons via direct laser acceleration, assisted by quasi-static plasma magnetic and electric fields.…
High-resolution direct phase control in the spectral domain in ultrashort pulse lasers for pulse-shaping applications
Sean M Buczek, Gilbert W Collins, Alexey Arefiev +1
Ultrafast laser systems, those with a pulse duration on the order of picoseconds or less, have enabled advancements in a wide variety of fields. Of particular interest to this work…
