Advanced Control of Electron Beams: Tailoring X-ray Production with Programmable Laser Shaping
Jack Hirschman, Randy Lemons, Hao Zhang +23
Leveraging the full scientific capabilities of next-generation high-repetition-rate free-electron lasers requires programmable control over electron-beam properties at their source…
Charged-particle control via spatio-temporally tailored pulses from gas-based nonlinear optics
Hao Zhang, Joshua Mann, James Rosenzweig +2
Gas-filled waveguides enable few-cycle, spatio-temporally coupled (STC) pulses with programmable structure, opening new routes to control charged particles with optical fields. Thi…
Deep Learning Assisted Modeling for Nonlinear Optics
Jack Hirschman, Erfan Abedi, Minyang Wang +6
Modeling second-order () nonlinear optical processes remains computationally expensive due to the need to resolve fast field oscillations and simulate wave propagation us…
Antisymmetric chirp transfer to high-energy ultraviolet pulses via gas-based chirped four-wave mixing
Linshan Sun, Hao Zhang, Cameron Leary +5
Spectro-temporal shaping of high-power femtosecond ultraviolet (UV) pulses remains a key challenge in ultrafast optics. Tailoring high-energy, ultrashort UV pulses underpins applic…
Nonlinear Shaping in the Picosecond Gap
Randy Lemons, Jack Hirschman, Hao Zhang +2
Lightwave pulse shaping in the picosecond regime has remained unaddressed because it resides beyond the limits of state-of-the-art techniques, either due to its inherently narrow s…
