Absolute laser energy absorption measurement of relativistic 0.7 ps laser pulses in nanowire arrays

Journal Article Park, Jaebum ; Tommasini, Riccardo ; Shepherd, R. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Laser absorption is one of the most important parameters governing laser–matter interactions. The laser energy absorption on nanowire array targets is measured for the first time in the relativistic regime at intensities of 10¹⁹ W=cm² and compared to foil targets. The results show that the laser energy absorption of 0.7 ps frequency doubled (527 nm) pulses on Au nanowire targets varies widely with nanowire parameters, reaching laser energy absorption values up to 71% of the incident energy, significantly exceeding those of solid flat targets obtained in similar irradiation conditions. The analysis shows that the increase in absorption strongly correlates withmore »« less

Entirely reflective slit spatial filter for high-energy laser systems

Journal Article Chesnut, K. ; Bayramian, A. ; Erlandson, A. ; ... - Optics Express

An entirely reflective slit spatial filter is proposed to provide spatial filtering, gain isolation, and ASE mitigation for high-energy laser systems. The traditional circular pinhole is replaced by two orthogonal slits, which lowers the intensity at the spatial filter plane by up to two orders of magnitude, and by using reflective optics we reduce spatial dispersion and eliminate B-integral effects. A ray trace model of the spatial filter shows excellent transmitted wavefront, but also indicates aberrations at the foci from using cylindrical optics at 45°. It is expected that the use of off-axis parabolic mirrors would mitigate this issue butmore »« less

Development of a deep learning based automated data analysis for step-filter x-ray spectrometers in support of high-repetition rate short-pulse laser-driven acceleration experiments

Journal Article Simpson, R. A. ; Mariscal, D. ; Williams, G. J. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

We present a deep learning based framework for real-time analysis of a differential filter based x-ray spectrometer that is common on short-pulse laser experiments. The analysis framework was trained with a large repository of synthetic data to retrieve key experimental metrics, such as slope temperature. With traditional analysis methods, these quantities would have to be extracted from data using a time-intensive and manual analysis. Furthermore, this framework was developed for a specific diagnostic, but may be applicable to a wide variety of diagnostics common to laser experiments and thus will be especially crucial to the development of high-repetition rate (HRR)more »« less

Perspectives on relativistic electron–positron pair plasma experiments of astrophysical relevance using high-power lasers

Journal Article Chen, Hui ; Fiuza, Frederico - Physics of Plasmas

The study of relativistic electron–positron pair plasmas is both of fundamental physics interest and important to understand the processes that shape the magnetic field dynamics, particle acceleration, and radiation emission in high-energy astrophysical environments. Although it is highly desirable to study relativistic pair plasmas in the laboratory, their generation and control constitutes a critical challenge. Significant experimental and theoretical progress has been made over recent years to explore the use of intense lasers to produce dense relativistic pair plasma in the laboratory and study the basic collective plasma processes associated with these systems. Important challenges remain in terms of improvingmore »« less

Production of relativistic electrons at subrelativistic laser intensities

Journal Article Williams, G. J. ; Link, A. ; Sherlock, M. ; ... - Physical Review E

Relativistic electron temperatures were measured from kilojoule, subrelativistic laser-plasma interactions. Experiments reflect an order of magnitude higher temperatures than expected from a ponderomotive scaling, where temperatures of up to 2.2 MeV were generated using an intensity of 1 × 10¹⁸ W/cm². Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations suggest that electrons gain superponderomotive energies by stochastic acceleration as they sample a large area of rapidly changing laser phase. We further demonstrate that such high temperatures are possible from subrelativistic intensities by using lasers with long pulse durations and large spatial scales.
