Coupling of laser energy into hot-electrons in high-contrast relativistic laser-plasma interactions

Journal Article Kemp, G. E. ; Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California 94550 ; Link, A. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We use particle-in-cell simulations to explain the mechanisms responsible for the coupling of laser energy into relativistic electrons for the case of sharp interface, solid density metal targets free of pre-plasma. For perfectly flat interfaces, the accelerated electron trajectories are dominated by the standing-wave (SW) field structure formed by interference between incident and reflected pulses. We find that quasi-static magnetic fields that develop near the interface play only a minor role in perturbing the relativistic electron trajectories but can contribute to enhanced absorption. Target surfaces that are structured exhibit enhanced absorption, and the acceleration mechanism deviates from the clean standing-wavemore »« less

Hot electrons and hard x-ray emission from relativistically strong laser pulses in underdense plasma

Journal Article Andreev, A A ; Platonov, K Yu - AIP Conference Proceedings

Hot electrons and hard x-ray pulses produced by the interaction of strong laser radiation with an underplasma is analytically and numrically investigated. The distribution function and parameters of the fast particles are determined, and the energy and spectrum of hard x%-ray pulses are calculated. (AIP)

Relativistic nonlinear dynamics of an intense laser beam propagating in a hot electron-positron magnetoactive plasma

Journal Article Sepehri Javan, N. ; Adli, F. - Physics of Plasmas

The present study is devoted to investigation of the nonlinear dynamics of an intense laser beam interacting with a hot magnetized electron-positron plasma. Propagation of the intense circularly polarized laser beam along an external magnetic field is studied using a relativistic two-fluid model. A modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived based on the quasi-neutral approximation, which is valid for hot plasma. Light envelope solitary waves and modulation instability are studied, for one-dimensional case. Using a three-dimensional model, spatial-temporal development of laser pulse is investigated. Occurrence of some nonlinear phenomena such as self-focusing, self-modulation, light trapping, and filamentation of laser pulsemore »« less

Specular Reflectivity and Hot-Electron Generation in High-Contrast Relativistic Laser-Plasma Interactions

Thesis/Dissertation Kemp, Gregory Elijah

Ultra-intense laser (> 1018 W/cm2) interactions with matter are capable of producing relativistic electrons which have a variety of applications in state-of-the-art scientific and medical research conducted at universities and national laboratories across the world. Control of various aspects of these hot-electron distributions is highly desired to optimize a particular outcome. Hot-electron generation in low-contrast interactions, where significant amounts of under-dense pre-plasma are present, can be plagued by highly non-linear relativistic laser-plasma instabilities and quasi-static magnetic field generation, often resulting in less than desirable and predictable electron source characteristics. High-contrast interactions offer more controlled interactions but often at the costmore »« less
