Towards efficient generation of attosecond pulses from overdense plasma targets
Theoretical studies and computer simulations predict efficient generation of attosecond electromagnetic pulses from overdense plasma targets, driven by relativistically strong laser pulses. These predictions need to be validated in time resolved experiments in order to provide a route for applications. The first available femtosecond sources for these experiments are likely to be 10 fs pulses o...
متن کاملThe interaction of excited atoms and few-cycle laser pulses
This work describes the first observations of the ionisation of neon in a metastable atomic state utilising a strong-field, few-cycle light pulse. We compare the observations to theoretical predictions based on the Ammosov-Delone-Krainov (ADK) theory and a solution to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE). The TDSE provides better agreement with the experimental data than the ADK theor...
متن کاملRobust carrier-envelope phase retrieval of few-cycle laser pulses
The two-dimensional momentum distributions of high-energy photoelectrons generated in the above-threshold ionization of atoms by intense laser pulses are analysed as resulting from the elastic backscattering of laser-induced returning electrons. Using this quantitative rescattering theory, we show that the returning electron wave packets are entirely determined by the properties of the laser pu...
متن کاملBubble acceleration of electrons with few-cycle laser pulses
We present three-dimensional particle-in-cell (3D-PIC) simulations of laser wake field acceleration (LWFA) of electrons in the bubble regime, using the code ILLUMINATION. The study is motivated by the new Light Wave Synthesizer (LWS), currently under construction at Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik (MPQ), which is expected to produce short (sub-10 fs), high power (multi-terawatt) laser puls...
متن کاملWavelength-tunable few-cycle optical pulses directly from an all-fiber Er-doped laser setup.
A simple design, which we believe to be the first of its kind, of an all-fiber-based optical source is proposed for the generation of widely tunable few-cycle pulses as short as 20-25 fs duration in the range of 1.6-2.1 microm. Few-cycle pulses are obtained by compression of femtosecond pulses from the erbium-doped fiber laser in a three-stage scheme that uses (i) the effects of the soliton com...
