Towards the generation of petawatt near-infrared few-cycle light pulses via forward Raman amplification in plasma
Zhi-Yu Lei, Zheng-Ming Sheng, Su-Ming Weng +2
Light amplification towards extremely high power in the infrared regime remains a significant challenge due to the lack of suitable gain media. Here we propose a new scheme to ampl…

We propose a hybrid laser-driven ion acceleration scheme using a combination target of a solid foil and a density-tailored background plasma. In the first stage, a sub-relativistic…
Cascaded acceleration of proton beams in ultrashort laser-irradiated microtubes
H. C. Wang, S. M. Weng, M. Murakami +4
A cascaded ion acceleration scheme is proposed by use of ultrashort laser-irradiated microtubes. When the electrons of a microtube are blown away by intense laser pulses, strong ch…
Dense blocks of energetic ions driven by multi-petawatt lasers
