Laser injection of ultrashort electron pulses into Wakefield plasma waves.
A novel laser-plasma-based source of relativistic electrons is described. It involves a combination of orthogonally directed laser beams, which are focused in a plasma. One beam excites a wakefield electron plasma wave. Another locally alters the trajectory of some of the electrons in such a way that they can be accelerated and trapped by the wave. With currently available table-top terawatt la...
متن کاملSimulation of ultrashort electron pulse generation from optical injection into wake-field plasma waves.
A laser-plasma-based source of relativistic electrons is described in detail, and analyzed in two dimensions using theoretical and numeric techniques. Two laser beams are focused in a plasma, one exciting a wake-field electron plasma wave while another locally alters some electron trajectories in such a way that they can be trapped and accelerated by the wave. Previous analyses dealt only with ...
متن کاملSimulation of laser wakefield acceleration of an ultrashort electron bunch.
The dynamics of the acceleration of a short electron bunch in a strong plasma wave excited by a laser pulse in a plasma channel is studied both analytically and numerically in slab geometry. In our simulations, a fully nonlinear, relativistic hydrodynamic description for the plasma wave is combined with particle-in-cell methods for the description of the bunch. Collective self-interactions with...
متن کاملSimulations of Electron Injection into Plasma Wake Fields by Colliding Laser Pulses Using Xoopic
First time, self-consistent particle-in-cell simulations of electron injection into a plasma wake field by colliding laser pulses are presented. This method for injecting electrons in a laser wake field has been proposed recently by Esarey and coworkers [1]. An intense pump pulse generates a fast wake field. Forward going and backward going injection pulses collide at some distance behind the p...
متن کاملGeneration of ultrashort radiation pulses by injection locking a regenerative free-electron-laser amplifier
We demonstrate how a steady-state train of ultrashort radiation pulses can be produced utilizing a new free-electron laser ~FEL! configuration, the injection-locked regenerative klystron amplifier ~IRKA!. This configuration consists of two elements: ~1! a prebuncher, which microbunches the electron beams at the desired output wavelength, and ~2! a multipass FEL operated at a very small cavity d...
