Laser-guided lightning
Aurélien Houard, Pierre Walch, Thomas Produit +25
Electric currents circulating between charged clouds and the earth surface during lightning discharges are responsible for considerable damages and casualties. It is therefore impo…
Laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy reduction in a CoTb thin film with stripe domains
M. Hennes, A. Merhe, X. Liu +15
We use time-resolved x-ray resonant magnetic scattering (tr-XRMS) at the Co M- and Tb O-edges to study ultrafast demagnetization in an amorphous CoTb allo…
HV discharges triggered by dual- and triple-frequency laser filaments
Thomas Produit, Pierre Walch, Guillaume Schimmel +10
We study the use of frequency upconversion schemes of near-IR picosecond laser pulses and compare their ability to guide and trigger electric discharges through filamentation in ai…
Non-contact XUV metrology of Ru/B4C multilayer optics by means of Hartmann wavefront analysis
Mabel Ruiz-Lopez, Hugo Dacasa, Benoit Mahieu +3
Short-wavelength imaging, spectroscopy, and lithography scale down the characteristic length-scale to nano meters. This poses tight constraints on the optics finishing tolerances,…
Femtosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy in warm dense matter
Benoît Mahieu, Noémie Jourdain, Kim Ta Phuoc +5
Exploring and understanding ultrafast processes at the atomic level is a scientific challenge. Femtosecond X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) is an essential experimental probing…
High-brilliance betatron gamma-ray source powered by laser-accelerated electrons
Julien Ferri, Sébastien Corde, Andreas Döpp +8
Recent progress in laser-driven plasma acceleration now enables the acceleration of electrons to several gigaelectronvolts. Taking advantage of these novel accelerators, ultra-shor…
