Relativistic plasma shutter for ultraintense laser pulses.
A relativistic plasma shutter technique is proposed and tested to remove the sub-100 ps pedestal of a high-intensity laser pulse. The shutter is an ultrathin foil placed before the target of interest. As the leading edge of the laser ionizes the shutter material it will expand into a relativistically underdense plasma allowing for the peak pulse to propagate through while rejecting the low inte...
متن کاملUltrashort intense-field optical vortices produced with laser-etched mirrors.
We introduce a simple and practical method to create ultrashort intense optical vortices for applications involving high-intensity lasers. Our method utilizes femtosecond laser pulses to laser etch grating lines into laser-quality gold mirrors. These grating lines holographically encode an optical vortex. We derive mathematical equations for each individual grating line to be etched, for any de...
متن کاملGeV electrons from ultraintense laser interaction with highly charged ions.
Ultraintense laser interactions with highly charged ions are investigated using three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations. Results show that ultraenergetic GeV electrons may be produced for highly charged ions chosen so that their electrons remain bound during the rise time of the laser pulse, and so that the electrons are ionized when the laser is near its maximum amplitude, which satisfies th...
متن کاملA compact, multiangle electron spectrometer for ultraintense laser-plasma interaction experiments.
Experiments on the multiterawatt (MTW) laser at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics will study the effect of the focal-spot shape on the forward acceleration and collimation of electrons. A compact electron spectrometer has been developed to record the energy spectra of electrons ejected in the interaction of the laser at multiple angular locations simultaneously. The modular system with replac...
متن کاملNeutron production by fast protons from ultraintense laser-plasma interactions
Tens of MeV proton beams have been generated by interactions of the VULCAN petawatt laser with foil targets and used to induce nuclear reactions in zinc and boron samples. The numbers of C, Ga, Ga, Ga, Cu, Zn, Zn, and Zn nuclei have been measured and used to determine the proton energy spectrum. It is known that sp ,nd reactions provide an important method for producing neutron sources and in t...
