Maxwell-consistent, symmetry- and energy-preserving solutions for ultrashort laser pulse propagation beyond the paraxial approximation

P. González de Alaiza Martínez, G. Duchateau, B. Chimier +4

We analytically and numerically investigate the propagation of ultrashort tightly focused laser pulses in vacuum, with particular emphasis on Hermite-Gaussian and Laguerre-Gaussian…

Femtosecond laser pulse train interaction with dielectric materials

O. Dematteo Caulier, K. Mishchik, B. Chimier +8

We investigate the interaction of trains of femtosecond microjoule laser pulses with dielectric materials by means of a multi-scale model. Our theoretical predictions are directly…

Direct observation of the injection dynamics of a laser wakefield accelerator using few-femtosecond shadowgraphy

A. Sävert, S. P. D. Mangles, M. Schnell +13

We present few-femtosecond shadowgraphic snapshots taken during the non-linear evolution of the plasma wave in a laser wakefield accelerator with transverse synchronized few-cycle…

Effect of electron heating on self-induced transparency in relativistic intensity laser-plasma interaction

E. Siminos, M. Grech, S. Skupin +2

The effective increase of the critical density associated with the interaction of relativistically intense laser pulses with overcritical plasmas, known as self-induced transparenc…

Stability of solitary waves in random nonlocal nonlinear media

F. Maucher, W. Krolikowski, S. Skupin

We consider the interplay between nonlocal nonlinearity and randomness for two different nonlinear Schrödinger models. We show that stability of bright solitons in presence of rand…

Energy dispersion in radiation pressure accelerated ion beams

M. Grech, S. Skupin, A. Diaw +2

We address the problem of energy dispersion of radiation pressure accelerated (RPA) ion beams emerging from a thin (solid) target. Two different acceleration schemes, namely phase-…

Collapse in the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation

F. Maucher, W. Krolikowski, S. Skupin

We discuss spatial dynamics and collapse scenarios of localized waves governed by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonlocal nonlinearity. Firstly, we prove that for arbitrar…

Rotating three-dimensional solitons in Bose Einstein condensates with gravity-like attractive nonlocal interaction

F. Maucher, S. Skupin, M. Sheng +1

We study formation of rotating three-dimensional high-order solitons (azimuthons) in Bose Einstein condensate with attractive nonlocal nonlinear interaction. In particular, we demo…
