Spatiotemporal control of high-intensity laser pulses with a plasma lens
D. Li, K. G. Miller, J. R. Pierce +3
Spatiotemporal control encompasses a variety of techniques for producing laser pulses with dynamic intensity peaks that move independently of the group velocity. This controlled mo…
Joule-Class Pulsed THz Sources from Microchannel Targets
G. Bruhaug, H. G. Rinderknecht, K. Weichman +9
Inference of joule-class THz radiation sources from microchannel targets driven with hundreds of joule, picosecond lasers is reported. THz sources of this magnitude are useful for…
Phase Control of Nonlinear Breit-Wheeler Pair Creation
B. Barbosa, J. P. Palastro, D. Ramsey +2
Electron-positron pair creation occurs throughout the universe in the environments of extreme astrophysical objects, such as pulsar magnetospheres and black hole accretion disks. T…
Space-time structured plasma waves
J. P. Palastro, K. G. Miller, R. K. Follett +4
Electrostatic waves play a critical role in nearly every branch of plasma physics from fusion to advanced accelerators, to astro, solar, and ionospheric physics. The properties of…
Dephasingless laser wakefield acceleration in the bubble regime
Kyle G. Miller, Jacob R. Pierce, Manfred V. Ambat +5
Laser wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) have electric fields that are orders of magnitude larger than those of conventional accelerators, promising an attractive, small-scale alternat…
Programmable and arbitrary-trajectory ultrafast flying focus pulses
M. V. Ambat, J. L. Shaw, J. J. Pigeon +4
"Flying focus" techniques produce laser pulses with dynamic focal points that travels distances much greater than a Rayleigh length. The implementation of these techniques in laser…
Analytic pulse technique for computational electromagnetics
K. Weichman, K. G. Miller, B. Malaca +6
Numerical modeling of electromagnetic waves is an important tool for understanding the interaction of light and matter, and lies at the core of computational electromagnetics. Trad…
Signatures of vacuum birefringence in low-power flying focus pulses
Martin Formanek, John P. Palastro, Dillon Ramsey +2
Vacuum birefringence produces a differential phase between orthogonally polarized components of a weak electromagnetic probe in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field. Desp…
Spatiotemporal control of two-color terahertz generation
Tanner T. Simpson, Jeremy J. Pigeon, Manfred Virgil Ambat +5
A laser pulse composed of a fundamental and properly phased second harmonic exhibits an asymmetric electric field that can drive a time-dependent current of photoionized electrons.…
Cross-beam energy transfer in conditions relevant to direct-drive implosions on OMEGA
K. L. Nguyen, L. Yin, B. J. Albright +5
In cross-beam energy transfer (CBET), the interference of two laser beams ponderomotively drives an ion-acoustic wave that coherently scatters light from one beam into the other. T…
Accurate simulation of direct laser acceleration in a laser wakefield accelerator
Kyle G. Miller, John P. Palastro, Jessica L. Shaw +4
In a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA), an intense laser pulse excites a plasma wave that traps and accelerates electrons to relativistic energies. When the pulse overlaps the acc…
Coherence and superradiance from a plasma-based quasiparticle accelerator
B. Malaca, M. Pardal, D. Ramsey +7
Coherent light sources, such as free electron lasers, provide bright beams for biology, chemistry, physics, and advanced technological applications. Increasing the brightness of th…
Charged particle beam transport in a flying focus pulse with orbital angular momentum
Martin Formanek, John P. Palastro, Marija Vranic +2
We demonstrate the capability of Flying Focus (FF) laser pulses with orbital angular momentum (OAM) to transversely confine ultra-relativistic charged particle bunches o…
