Beating Optical Turbulence Limits Using High Peak-Power Lasers
Michael H. Helle, Gregory Dicomo, Samantha Gregory +6
We experimentally demonstrate the ability of a nonlinear self-channeling beam to resist turbulence-induced spreading and scintillation. Spatio-temporal data is presented for an 850…
Lensing properties of rotational gas flow
D. Kaganovich, L. A. Johnson, D. F. Gordon +2
A negative lens comprised of a gas in steady axisymmetric flow is demonstrated experimentally and analyzed. The lens has potential applications in high-intensity laser optics and p…
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…
Enhanced betatron X-rays from axially modulated plasma wakefields
J. P. Palastro, D. Kaganovich, D. Gordon
In the cavitation regime of plasma-based accelerators, a population of high-energy electrons tailing the driver can undergo betatron motion. The motion results in X-ray emission, b…
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…
