Self-aligning concave relativistic plasma mirror with adjustable focus

Journal Article Tsai, Hai-En ; Arefiev, Alexey V. ; Shaw, Joseph M. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We report an experimental-computational study of the optical properties of plasma mirrors (PMs) at the incident laser frequency when irradiated directly at relativistic intensity (10¹⁸₀<10¹⁹W/cm²) by near-normally incident (4°), high-contrast, 30 fs, 800 nm laser pulses. We find that such relativistic PMs are highly reflective (0.6–0.8) and focus a significant fraction of reflected light to intensity as large as ~10I0 at distance f as small as ~25 μm from the PM, provided that pre-pulses do not exceed 10¹⁴ W/cm² prior to ~20 ps before arrival of the main pulse peak. Particle-in-cell simulations show that focusing results from denting of themore »« less

Compact tunable Compton x-ray source from laser-plasma accelerator and plasma mirror

Journal Article Tsai, Hai-En ; Wang, Xiaoming ; Shaw, Joseph M. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We present an in-depth experimental-computational study of the parameters necessary to optimize a tunable, quasi-monoenergetic, efficient, low-background Compton backscattering (CBS) x-ray source that is based on the self-aligned combination of a laser-plasma accelerator (LPA) and a plasma mirror (PM). The main findings are (1) an LPA driven in the blowout regime by 30 TW, 30 fs laser pulses produce not only a high-quality, tunable, quasi-monoenergetic electron beam, but also a high-quality, relativistically intense (a₀ ~ 1) spent drive pulse that remains stable in profile and intensity over the LPA tuning range.
