Toward quantum-noise-limited interferometric measurements of optical nonlinearity in vacuum
Ali Aras, Adrien E. Kraych, Xavier Sarazin +3
Quantum Electrodynamics predicts that the vacuum must behave as a nonlinear optical medium: the vacuum optical index should increase when it is stressed by intense electromagnetic…
Performance of a Sagnac interferometer to observe vacuum optical nonlinearity
Aurélie Max Mailliet, Adrien E. Kraych, François Couchot +8
In Quantum Electrodynamics, vacuum becomes a nonlinear optical medium: its optical index should be modified in the presence of intense external electromagnetic fields. The DeLLight…
Interferometric measurement of the deflection of light by light in air
Adrien E. Kraych, Aurélie Max Mailliet, François Couchot +8
The aim of the DeLLight (Deflection of Light by Light) experiment is to observe for the first time the optical nonlinearity in vacuum, as predicted by Quantum Electrodynamics, by m…
Fast Particle-in-Cell simulations-based method for the optimisation of a laser-plasma electron injector
P Drobniak, E Baynard, C Bruni +13
A method for the optimisation and advanced studies of a laser-plasma electron injector is presented, based on a truncated ionisation injection scheme for high quality beam producti…
Extreme-ultraviolet structured beams via high harmonic generation
Alok Kumar Pandey, Alba de las Heras, Julio San Román +9
Vigorous efforts to harness the topological properties of light have enabled a multitude of novel applications. Translating the applications of structured light to higher spatial a…
A Survey of Spatio-Temporal Couplings throughout High-Power Ultrashort Lasers
Antoine Jeandet, Spencer W. Jolly, Antonin Borot +19
The investigation of spatio-temporal couplings (STCs) of broadband light beams is becoming a key topic for the optimization as well as applications of ultrashort laser systems. Thi…
The DeLLight experiment to observe an optically-induced change of the vacuum index
Scott Robertson, Aurélie Mailliet, Xavier Sarazin +7
Quantum electrodynamics predicts that the vacuum must behave as a nonlinear optical medium: the speed of light should be modified when the vacuum is stressed by intense electromagn…
35 megawatt multicycle THz pulses from a homemade periodically poled macrocrystal
Francois Lemery, Thomas Vinatier, Frank Mayet +7
High-power multicycle THz radiation is highly sought after with applications in medicine, imaging, spectroscopy, characterization and manipulation of condensed matter, and could su…
Status report of the ESCULAP project at Orsay: External injection of low energy electrons in a Plasma
Elsa Baynard, Christelle Bruni, Kevin Cassou +20
The ESCULAP project aims at studying external injection of low energy (\SI{10}{MeV}) electrons in a plasma in the quasilinear regime. This facility will use the photo injector PHIL…
Modelling of laser-plasma acceleration of relativistic electrons in the frame of ESCULAP project
E. Baynard, C. Bruni, K. Cassou +19
We present numerical simulations results on the injection and acceleration of a 10 MeV, 10 pC electrons beam in a plasma wave generated in a gas cell by a 2J, 45 fs laser beam. Thi…
Simulations of the Acceleration of Externally Injected Electrons in a Plasma Excited in the Linear Regime
Nicolas Delerue, Christelle Bruni, Stéphane Jenzer +4
We have investigated numerically the coupling between a 10 \si{MeV} electron bunch of high charge (\SI{> 100}{pc}) with a laser generated accelerating plasma wave. Our results show…
Refraction of light by light in vacuum
X. Sarazin, F. Couchot, A. Djannati-Atai +4
In very intense electromagnetic fields, the vacuum refractive index is expected to be modified due to nonlinear quantum electrodynamics (QED) properties. Several experimental tests…
