Resonant noninear refraction of 4-5 m light in CO and CO gas

Jeremy Pigeon, Dana Tovey, Sergei Tochitsky +7

The resonant nonlinear refraction of 4-5 m light in CO and CO gas at a peak intensity of 15 MW/cm was demonstrated using time- and frequency-resolved measurements of sel…

Lasing in 15 atm CO2 cell optically pumped by a Fe:ZnSe laser

Dana Tovey, Jeremy Pigeon, Sergei Tochitsky +7

10 μm lasing is studied in a compact CO2-He cell pressurized up to 15 atm when optically pumped by a ~50 mJ Fe:ZnSe laser tunable around 4.3 μm. The optimal pump wavelength and par…

Predominant Contribution of Direct Laser Acceleration to High-Energy Electron Spectra in a Low-Density Self-Modulated Laser Wakefield Accelerator

P. M. King, K. Miller, N. Lemos +12

The two-temperature relativistic electron spectrum from a low-density (~cm) self-modulated laser wakefield accelerator (SM-LWFA) is observed to transition be…

Collisionless shock acceleration of narrow energy spread ion beams from mixed species plasmas using 1 m lasers

A. Pak, S. Kerr, N. Lemos +15

Collisionless shock acceleration of protons and C ions has been achieved by the interaction of a 10 W/cm, 1 m laser with a near-critical density plasma. Ablati…

Sub-femtosecond electron bunches created by direct laser acceleration in a laser wakefield accelerator with ionization injection

N. Lemos, J. L. Shaw, K. A. Marsh +1

In this work, we will show through three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations that direct laser acceleration in laser a wakefield accelerator can generate sub-femtosecond elect…
