Laser propagation in a subcritical foam: Subgrid model

Journal Article Belyaev, M. A. ; Berger, R. L. ; Jones, O. S. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Here, we present a subgrid model for laser propagation in a subcritical foam. Our model describes the expansion of laser-irradiated foam elements that are below the resolution of the simulation grid and predicts the plasma conditions that result from burning down the foam. Our model can be included as a module within a larger multiphysics code, and we have implemented it within the code pF3D, which is used for simulating a laser-plasma interaction. The model predicts a reduced propagation velocity for a laser through a subcritical foam compared to simulating that foam as a homogeneous gas. This is attributed tomore »« less

Laser transport and backscatter in low-density SiO₂ and Ta2O₅ foams

Journal Article Mariscal, D. A. ; Jones, O. S. ; Berger, R. L. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Experiments using a single 527 nm wavelength beam interacting with sub- and supercritical density SiO₂ and Ta₂O₅ foams examined laser propagation and backscatter from laser–plasma instabilities such as Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS). Two densities of each material were examined, and multiple diagnostics were used to characterize the propagation and backscatter. For 5 mg/cc SiO₂ (n_e/n_c = 0.375), the laser propagation distance was well approximated by treating the foam as a gas. However, for the 2 mg/cc SiO₂ foam (n_e/n_c = 0.15), the same model over-predicts the propagation distance by ~40%. Furthermore, existing analytical theories on propagation through subcritical foams weremore »« less

The effects of microstructure on propagation of laser-driven radiative heat waves in under-dense high-Z plasma

Journal Article Colvin, J. D. ; Matsukuma, H. ; Brown, K. C. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

This work was motivated by previous findings that the measured laser-driven heat front propagation velocity in under-dense TiO₂/SiO₂ foams is slower than the simulated one [Pérez et al., Phys. Plasmas 21, 023102 (2014)]. In attempting to test the hypothesis that these differences result from effects of the foam microstructure, we designed and conducted an experiment on the GEKKO laser using an x-ray streak camera to compare the heat front propagation velocity in “equivalent” gas and foam targets, that is, targets that have the same initial density, atomic weight, and average ionization state. In this article, we first discuss the designmore »« less

Efficient ion acceleration by multistaged intense short laser pulses

Journal Article Kim, J. ; Wilks, S. ; Kemp, A. ; ... - Physical Review Research

We present a computational study of laser-driven ion acceleration that optimizes a combination of target transparency and extended field acceleration at moderate relativistic intensity. Our scheme applies two sequential laser pulses irradiating a thin target foil along the same direction: The first pulse drives a rapid expansion of the target, while the second one drives a quasistatic electric field in the expanding target with increasing electron temperature. In our particle-in-cell simulations we observe proton peak energies and numbers enhanced by factors of up to 3 compared with regular target-normal sheath acceleration.

Lateral confinement of fast electrons and its impact on laser ion acceleration

Journal Article Iwata, N. ; Kemp, A. J. ; Wilks, S. C. ; ... - Physical Review Research

In intense laser-plasma interactions, maximizing the density of fast electrons in the laser spot area is key to achieving plasma heating and particle acceleration. We find that when the laser spot size is large compared with the target foil thickness, fast electrons circulating in the foil show a “random walk” in the lateral direction due to the scattering by fluctuating fields at the plasma surface inside the spot area. Additionally, the model the lateral motion as a diffusion, and find the resulting diffusion velocity is much slower than the speed of the ballistic transport. Hence, fast electrons accumulate in themore »« less
