Plasma lenses for ultrashort multi-petawatt laser pulses
J. P. Palastro, D. Gordon, B. Hafizi +5
An ideal plasma lens can provide the focusing power of a small f-number, solid-state focusing optic at a fraction of the diameter. An ideal plasma lens, however, relies on a steady…
Accelerated Ions from a Laser Driven Z-pinch
Michael H. Helle, Daniel F. Gordon, Dmitri Kaganovich +3
Intense laser acceleration of ions is inherently difficult due to the velocity mismatch between laser pulses moving at the speed of light and slowly moving massive ions. Instead of…
Stimulated Raman Scattering and Nonlinear Focusing of High-Power Laser Beams Propagating in Water
B. Hafizi, J. P. Palastro, J. R. Penano +4
The physical processes associated with propagation of a high-power (power > critical power for self-focusing) laser beam in water include nonlinear focusing, stimulated Raman scatt…
