Seed source for plasma compression in the long wavelength infrared
Daniel F. Gordon, Patrick Grugan, Rotem Kupfer +5
Two color laser pulses are used to form an air plasma and generate broadband infrared radiation suitable as a seed for backward Raman amplification of CO2 laser pulses. Broadband r…
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…
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…
A nonlinear plasma retroreflector for single pulse Compton backscattering
J. P. Palastro, D. Kaganovich, D. Gordon +4
Compton scattered x-rays can be generated using a configuration consisting of a single, ultra-intense laser pulse, and a shaped gas target. The gas target incorporates a hydrodynam…
Model for the Atomic Dielectric Response in Time Dependent Laser Fields
T. C. Rensink, T. M. Antonsen, J. P. Palastro +1
A nonlocal quantum model is presented for calculating the atomic dielectric response to a strong laser electric field. By replacing the Coulomb potential with a nonlocal potential…
Enhanced Proton Acceleration by an Ultrashort Laser Interaction with Structured Dynamic Plasma Targets
A. Zigler, S. Eisenman, M. Botton +14
We experimentally demonstrate a notably enhanced acceleration of protons to high energy by relatively modest ultrashort laser pulses and structured dynamical plasma targets. Realiz…
