MeV femtosecond electron pulses from direct-field acceleration in low density atomic gases
Charles Varin, Vincent Marceau, Pascal Hogan-Lamarre +3
Using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, we show that few-MeV electrons can be produced by focusing tightly few-cycle radially-polarized laser pulses in a low-density…
Femtosecond 240-keV electron pulses from direct laser acceleration in a low-density gas
Vincent Marceau, Charles Varin, Thomas Brabec +1
We propose a simple laser-driven electron acceleration scheme based on tightly focused radially polarized laser pulses for the production of femtosecond electron bunches with energ…
On the validity of the paraxial approximation for electron acceleration with radially polarized laser beams
Vincent Marceau, Charles Varin, Michel Piché
In the study of laser-driven electron acceleration, it has become customary to work within the framework of paraxial wave optics. Using an exact solution to the Helmholtz equation…
Electron acceleration in vacuum by ultrashort and tightly focused radially polarized laser pulses
Vincent Marceau, Alexandre April, Michel Piché
Exact closed-form solutions to Maxwell's equations are used to investigate electron acceleration driven by radially polarized laser beams in the nonparaxial and ultrashort pulse re…
Electron acceleration driven by ultrashort and nonparaxial radially polarized laser pulses
Vincent Marceau, Alexandre April, Michel Piché
Exact closed-form solutions to Maxwell's equations are used to investigate the acceleration of electrons in vacuum driven by ultrashort and nonparaxial radially polarized laser pul…
