A study of cross-relaxation and temporal dynamics of lasing at 2 microns in Thulium doped ceramic

Alessandro Fregosi, Fernando Brandi, Luca Labate +7

We report the characterization of the pump absorption and emission dynamic properties of a \tulio{} ceramic lasing medium using a three mirrors folded laser cavity. We measured a s…

Femtosecond temperature measurements of laser-shocked copper deduced from the intensity of the x-ray thermal diffuse scattering

J. S. Wark, D. J. Peake, T. Stevens +122

We present 50-fs, single-shot measurements of the x-ray thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) from copper foils that have been shocked via nanosecond laser-ablation up to pressures abov…

Enhanced laser-driven proton acceleration via improved fast electron heating in a controlled pre-plasma

L. A. Gizzi, E. Boella, L. Labate +10

The interaction of ultraintense laser pulses with solids is largely affected by the plasma gradient at the vacuum-solid interface, which modifies the absorption and ultimately, con…
