Generation and analysis of quasimonoenergetic electron beams by laser-plasma interaction in transitional region from the self-modulated laser wakefield to bubble acceleration regime

Journal Article Masuda, S ; Miura, E - Physics of Plasmas

Generation of quasimonoenergetic electron beams in a transitional region from the self-modulated laser wakefield to bubble acceleration regime is reported. Quasimonoenergetic electron beams containing more than 3x10{sup 8} electrons in the monoenergetic peak with energies of 40-60 MeV have been obtained from a plasma with an electron density of 1.6x10{sup 19} cm{sup -3} produced by an 8 TW, 50 fs laser pulse. The generation of quasimonoenergetic electron beams is investigated by two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. Few periods of the plasma wave are located inside the laser pulse, because the laser pulse duration is longer than the wavelength of the plasma wave.more »« less

High-Average-Power Diffraction Pulse-Compression Gratings Enabling Next-Generation Ultrafast Laser Systems

Technical Report Alessi, D.

Pulse compressors for ultrafast lasers have been identified as a technology gap in the push towards high peak power systems with high average powers for industrial and scientific applications. Gratings for ultrashort (sub-150fs) pulse compressors are metallic and can absorb a significant percentage of laser energy resulting in up to 40% loss as well as thermal issues which degrade on-target performance. We have developed a next generation gold grating technology which we have scaled to the petawatt-size. This resulted in improvements in efficiency, uniformity and processing as compared to previous substrate etched gratings for high average power. This new designmore »« less

Low-order harmonic generation in metal ablation plasmas in nanosecond and picosecond laser regimes

Journal Article Lopez-Arias, M ; Unidad Asociada Departamento de Quimica Fisica I, Facultad de Ciencias Quimicas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, and Instituto de Estructura de la Materia, CSIC, Serrano 123, 28006 Madrid ; Oujja, M ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Low-order harmonics, third and fifth, of IR (1064 nm) laser emission have been produced in laser ablation plasmas of the metals manganese, copper and silver. The harmonics were generated in a process triggered by laser ablation followed by frequency up-conversion of a fundamental laser beam that propagates parallel to the target surface. These studies were carried out in two temporal regimes by creating the ablation plasma using either nanosecond or picosecond pulses and then probing the plasma plume with pulses of the same duration. The spatiotemporal behavior of the generated harmonics was characterized and reveals the distinct composition and dynamicsmore »« less

A Seeman–Bohlin geometry for high-resolution nanosecond x-ray diffraction measurements from shocked polycrystalline and amorphous materials [Shock compression measurement in a Seeman-Bohlin camera geometry developed for time-resolved x-ray diffraction studies of shocked polycrystalline and amorphous materials]

Journal Article Milathianaki, Despina ; Hawreliak, J. ; McNaney, J. M. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Here, we report on a focusing x-ray diffraction geometry capable of high-resolution in situ lattice probing from dynamically loaded polycrystalline and amorphous materials. The Seeman–Bohlin-type camera presented here is ideally suited for time-resolved x-ray diffraction measurements performed on high energy multibeam laser platforms. Diffraction from several lattice planes of ablatively shock-loaded 25 μm thick Cu foils was recorded on a focusing circle of diameter D=100 mm with exceptional angular resolution limited only by the spectral broadening of the x-ray source. Excellent agreement was found between the density measured using x-ray diffraction and that inferred from Doppler velocimetry and the knownmore »« less

Study of diffraction-coupled lasing in a set of lasers with self-pumped phase-conjugate mirrors on gain gratings in the case of short-range coupling

Journal Article Basiev, Tasoltan T ; Osiko, Vyacheslav V ; Gavrilov, A V ; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

Compact schemes of a multichannel holographic laser system with short-range coupling and increased efficiency of single-mode lasing are developed for low-gain laser media operating not only at the fundamental laser transition but also at other laser transitions of the Nd:YAG crystal. The numerical simulation shows that the maximum possible number of laser channels can be increased by equalising their parameters. The possibility of phase locking of two loop Nd:YAG lasers without a nonreciprocal element with the free-running single-mode lasing efficiency up to 0.64% and the contrast of the interference pattern of the output beams exceeding 0.5 is shown experimentally.
