Comparison of wave-mixing processes in rarefied gas and QED vacuum using numerical simulations
Marianna Lytova, François Fillion-Gourdeau, Simon Vallières +3
We study the conditions required to distinguish laser-induced nonlinear quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects in vacuum from competing signals due to interactions of laser pulses w…

Generation of directed electron beams by tight focusing of an ultrashort IR laser in a near-critical plasma
Marianna Lytova, François Fillion-Gourdeau, Simon Vallières +4
Recent studies have demonstrated the possibility of accelerating electrons to MeV energies in ambient air using tightly focused laser configurations. In this article, we explore po…

Stringent requirements for detecting light-induced gravitational effects using interferometry
F. Fillion-Gourdeau, S. MacLean
Intense laser fields have been proposed as a means to generate light-induced gravitational effects, providing a novel approach to investigate gravity and its coupling to electromag…
