Characterization of electrons and x-rays produced using chirped laser pulses in a laser wakefield accelerator
The electron injection process into a plasma-based laser wakefield accelerator can be influenced by modifying the parameters of the driver pulse. We present an experimental study on the combined effect of the laser pulse duration, pulse shape, and frequency chirp on the electron injection and acceleration process and the associated radiation emission for two different gas types—a 97.5% He and 2...
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...
متن کاملIon Acceleration by Short Chirped Laser Pulses
Direct laser acceleration of ions by short frequency chirped laser pulses is investigated theoretically. We demonstrate that intense beams of ions with a kinetic energy broadening of about 1% can be generated. The chirping of the laser pulse allows the particles to gain kinetic energies of hundreds of MeVs, which is required for hadron cancer therapy, from pulses of energies in the order of 100...
متن کاملEnhancement of plasma wakefield generation and self-compression of femtosecond laser pulses by ionization gradients
As lasers become progressively higher in power, optical damage thresholds will become a limiting factor. Using the non-linear optics of plasma may be a way to circumvent these limits. In this paper, we report on simulations showing an enhancement to plasma wakefield self-compression of femtosecond laser pulses due to an ionization gradient at the leading edge of the pulse. By operating in a reg...
متن کاملSolvation Stokes-Shift Dynamics Studied by Chirped Femtosecond Laser Pulses.
The early optical dynamic response, resulting population, and electronic coherence are investigated experimentally and modeled theoretically for IR144 in solution. The fluorescence and stimulated emission response are studied systematically as a function of chirp. The magnitude of the chirp effect on fluorescence and stimulated emission is found to depend quadratically on pulse energy, even whe...
