Laser-cluster interaction: x-ray production by short laser pulses.
We investigate the heating of the quasifree electrons in large rare-gas clusters (N exceeding 10(5) atoms) by short laser pulses at moderate intensities (I approximately = 10(15) W cm(-2)). We identify elastic large-angle backscattering of electrons at ionic cores in the presence of a laser field as an efficient heating mechanism. Its efficiency as well as the effect of collective electron moti...
متن کاملAttosecond x-ray pulses produced by ultra short transverse slicing via laser electron beam interaction
We propose a method of generation of ∼115 attosecond x-ray pulses in a free electron laser (FEL) by means of producing ultra-fast angular modulation of the electron trajectories prior to entering the FEL. For this modulation, we employ a few-cycle laser pulse in a higher-order Gaussian mode and with carrier-envelope phase stabilization.
متن کاملObservation of subpicosecond x-ray emission from laser-cluster interaction.
We present the first experimental evidence of the subpicosecond duration of x-ray pulses emitted from laser-irradiated clusters, demonstrating the suitability of such a debris free target for ultrafast x-ray science applications. The K-shell emission (approximately 3 keV) from large Ar clusters (6 x 10(5) to 4 x 10(6) atoms) is time resolved, when irradiated by ultrashort (40 fs to 5 ps) and in...
متن کاملEnhancement of x-ray line emission from plasmas produced by short high-intensity laser double pulses.
Femtosecond laser-produced plasmas are bright ultrafast line x-ray sources potentially suitable for different applications including material science and biology. The conversion efficiency of the laser energy incident onto a solid target into the x-ray emission is significantly enhanced when a laser prepulse precedes the main pulse. The details of x-ray line emission from solid targets irradiat...
متن کاملLaser wakefield acceleration by petawatt ultra-short laser pulses
An ultra-short (about 30 fs) petawatt laser pulse focused with a wide focal spot (about 100 μm) in a rarefied plasma (n0 ∼ 10 cm) excites a nonlinear plasma wakefield which can accelerate injected electrons up to the GeV energy without any pulse channelling. In these conditions, propagation of the laser pulse with an over-critical power for relativistic self-focusing is almost the same as in va...
