Nonlinear Frequency Shift in Raman Backscattering and its Implications for Plasma Diagnostics
D. Kaganovich, B. Hafizi, J. P. Palastro +5
Raman backscattered radiation of intense laser pulses in plasma is investigated for a wide range of intensities relevant to laser wakefield acceleration. The weakly nonlinear dispe…
Synchrotron radiation from a curved plasma channel laser wakefield accelerator
J. P. Palastro, D. Kaganovich, B. Hafizi +5
A laser pulse guided in a curved plasma channel can excite wakefields that steer electrons along an arched trajectory. As the electrons are accelerated along the curved channel, th…
Two-photon vibrational excitation of air by long-wave infrared laser pulses
J. P. Palastro, J. Penano, L. A. Johnson +3
Ultrashort long-wave infrared (LWIR) laser pulses can resonantly excite vibrations in N2 and O2 through a two-photon transition. The absorptive, vibrational component of the ultraf…
Reciprocity breaking during nonlinear propagation of adapted beams through random media
J. P. Palastro, J. Penano, W. Nelson +4
Adaptive optics (AO) systems rely on the principle of reciprocity, or symmetry with respect to the interchange of point sources and receivers. These systems use the light received…
Laser Accelerated Ions from a Shock Compressed Gas Foil
M. H. Helle, D. F. Gordon, D. Kaganovich +3
We present results of energetic laser-ion acceleration from a tailored, near solid density gas target. Colliding hydrodynamic shocks compress a pure hydrogen gas jet into a 70 μm t…
Laser Pulse Driven THz Generation via Resonant Transition Radiation in Inhomogeneous Plasmas
Chenlong Miao, John P. Palastro, Thomas M. Antonsen
An intense, short laser pulse propagating across a plasma boundary ponderomotively drives THz radiation. Full format PIC simulations and theoretical analysis are conducted to inves…
