Erratum: Continuous Deflection of Laser Beams

Femtosecond Transversal Deflection of Electron Beams with the Help of Laser Beams and Its Possible Applications

It is shown that the interaction of an electron beam with polarized electromagnetic wave of laser photons propagating in the same direction in a short interaction region results in significant transversal deflection of the electrons which can be used for production of femtosecond electron and synchrotron radiation beams, for chopping the electron beams and construction of laser oscilloscopes me...

Continuous cubic phase microplates for generating high-quality Airy beams with strong deflection.

Owing to the distinguishing properties of nondiffraction, self-healing, and transverse acceleration, Airy beams have attracted much attention in the past decade. To date, a simple approach for exquisitely fabricating cubic phase plates with both continuous variation of phase and micro size still remains challenging, which limits the generation of high-quality Airy beams for integrated micro-opt...

Deflection of carbon dioxide laser and helium-neon laser beams in a long-pulse relativistic electron beam diode

Deflection of carbon dioxide and helium-neon laser beams has been used to measure plasma and neutral density gradients during the operating mode and after the shorting time of a long-pulse field-emission electron beam diode. Plasma density gradients of (10’4-10’5) cme4 were observed throughout the diode during the fmal microsecond of the 2-3 ps electron beam pulse. The neutral density gradient ...

Laser-generated ultrasonic beams.

Nonlinear combining of laser beams.

We propose to combine multiple laser beams into a single diffraction-limited beam by beam self-focusing (collapse) in a Kerr medium. Beams with total power above critical are first combined in the near field and then propagated in the optical fiber/waveguide with Kerr nonlinearity. Random fluctuations during propagation eventually trigger a strong self-focusing event and produce a diffraction-l...
