An Electro-Optic Deflector for a Fast Laser-Wire Scanner
A large aperture electro-optic deflector has been designed, realized and tested for application on a laser-wire-scanner for particle accelerators. Results on the important parameters such as deflection strength, speed and mode quality preservation are shown and discussed. This report was presented in the EPAC Conference under the reference TUPC123 [email protected] !"#$%$&'()*)+',&#-$.%$...
متن کاملNoise suppression in Ti:sapphire laser-based electro-optic sampling
We show that intensity and phase noise are highly correlated in a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. This allows electro-optic sampling noise, degraded by the combination of 2184 dBc/Hz laser phase noise and birefringent system components, to be reduced 12 dB to the shot noise floor. Two multiorder waveplates can be combined to achieve shot-limited noise while preserving maximum detection efficienc...
متن کاملUltrafast XUV emission from laser wakefields in underdense plasma
It is shown that a laser wakefield driven in the highly nonlinear regime or the wave-breaking regime in underdense plasma can emit ultrabroad-band bright extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation pulses, which are as short as a few hundreds of attoseconds in one-dimensional simulations and a few femtoseconds in multi-dimensional cases. The emission is caused by a transverse current sheet co-moving wi...
متن کاملElectro-optic lightning detector.
The design, alignment, calibration, and field deployment of a solid-state lightning detector is described. The primary sensing component of the detector is a potassium dihydrogen phosphate electro-optic crystal that is attached in series to a flat-plate aluminum antenna; the antenna is exposed to the ambient thundercloud electric field. A semiconductor laser diode (lambda = 685 nm), polarizing ...
متن کاملMonoenergetic Proton Beams from Laser Driven Shocks
Laser driven ion acceleration (LDIA) has the potential to deliver compact and affordable accelerators for applications in many fields of science and medicine. Specifically, radiotherapy of cancerous tumors requires ion energies in the range of 200-300 MeV/a.m.u. and with energy spreads on the order of 5%, parameters thus far beyond the LDIA experimental results using the most powerful lasers in...
