Abstract

Rykovanov, Geddes, Schroeder, Esarey and Leemans [Phys. Rev. Accel. Beams 19, 030701 (2016); hereafter RGSEL] have recently reported on the analytic derivation for the laser pulse frequency modulation (chirping) which controls spectrum broadening for high laser pulse intensities. We demonstrate here that their results are the same as the exact solutions reported in Terzic, Deitrick, Hofler and Krafft [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 074801 (2014); hereafter TDHK]. While the two papers deal with circularly and linearly polarized laser pulses, respectively, the difference in expressions for the two is just the usual factor of 1/2 present from going from circular to linear polarization. Additionally, we note the authors used an approximation to the number of subsidiary peaks in the unchirped spectrum when a better solution is given in TDHK.

Journal Article Rykovanov, S. G. ; Geddes, C. G. R. ; Schroeder, C. B. ; ... - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

We reply to Terzic and Krafft's forgoing Comment [Phys. Rev. Accel. Beams, Comment on "Controlling the spectral shape of nonlinear Thomson scattering with proper laser chirping" 19 (2016)]. We disagree with the conclusion of the Comment regarding the novelty of solutions and the citations presented in our paper.

Adiabatic excitation of rotational ladder by chirped laser pulses

Journal Article Vitanov, N V ; Girard, B ; Laboratoire de Collisions, Agregats, Reactivite, CNRS UMR 5589, IRSAMC, Universite Paul Sabatier, 118 Route de Narbonne, 31062 Toulouse - Physical Review. A

We discuss rotational excitation of molecules by a pair of left and right circularly polarized laser pulses with opposite chirps. The pulses are supposed to be short enough (picosecond or femtosecond) to prevent relaxation, sufficiently intense to induce adiabatic evolution, and far-off-resonant, e.g., infrared. This technique has been demonstrated recently by Villeneuve et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 542 (2000)] in rotational dissociation of molecules. We analyze the properties of this technique by using the concepts of level crossing and adiabatic evolution, which allow us to derive analytically the conditions for efficient excitation. We analyze both the cases of intuitivemore »« less

Controlling the spectral shape of nonlinear Thomson scattering with proper laser chirping

Journal Article Rykovanov, S. G. ; Geddes, C. G. R. ; Schroeder, C. B. ; ... - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

Effects of nonlinearity in Thomson scattering of a high intensity laser pulse from electrons are analyzed. Analytic expressions for laser pulse shaping in frequency (chirping) are obtained which control spectrum broadening for high laser pulse intensities. These analytic solutions allow prediction of the spectral form and required laser parameters to avoid broadening. Results of analytical and numerical calculations agree well. The control over the scattered radiation bandwidth allows narrow bandwidth sources to be produced using high scattering intensities, which in turn greatly improves scattering yield for future x- and gamma-ray sources.

Collaborative Research: Simulation of Beam-Electron Cloud Interactions in Circular Accelerators Using Plasma Models

Technical Report Katsouleas, Thomas ; Decyk, Viktor

Final Report for grant DE-FG02-06ER54888, "Simulation of Beam-Electron Cloud Interactions in Circular Accelerators Using Plasma Models" Viktor K. Decyk, University of California, Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA 90095-1547 The primary goal of this collaborative proposal was to modify the code QuickPIC and apply it to study the long-time stability of beam propagation in low density electron clouds present in circular accelerators. The UCLA contribution to this collaborative proposal was in supporting the development of the pipelining scheme for the QuickPIC code, which extended the parallel scaling of this code by two orders of magnitude.

Electron heating enhancement by frequency-chirped laser pulses

Journal Article Yazdani, E. ; Afarideh, H., E-mail: hafarideh@aut.ac.ir ; Sadighi-Bonabi, R., E-mail: Sadighi@sharif.ir ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Propagation of a chirped laser pulse with a circular polarization through an uprising plasma density profile is studied by using 1D-3V particle-in-cell simulation. The laser penetration depth is increased in an overdense plasma compared to an unchirped pulse. The induced transparency due to the laser frequency chirp results in an enhanced heating of hot electrons as well as increased maximum longitudinal electrostatic field at the back side of the solid target, which is very essential in target normal sheath acceleration regime of proton acceleration. For an applied chirp parameter between 0.008 and 0.01, the maximum amount of the electrostatic fieldmore »« less
