Relativistic laser–plasma interactions
By focusing petawatt peak power laser light to intensities up to 1021 W cm−2, highly relativistic plasmas can now be studied. The force exerted by light pulses with this extreme intensity has been used to accelerate beams of electrons and protons to energies of a million volts in distances of only microns. This acceleration gradient is a thousand times greater than in radio-frequency-based acce...
متن کاملHigh harmonic generation in relativistic laser–plasma interaction
High harmonics generated due to the scattering of relativistic electrons from high intensity laser light is studied. The experiments are carried out with an Nd:Glass laser system with a peak intensity of 2310 W cm in underdense plasma. It is shown that, at high intensities, when the normalized electric field approaches unity, in addition to the conventional atomic harmonics from bound electrons...
متن کاملElectromagnetic localized structures in a relativistic laser-plasma interaction
Localized electromagnetic structures with trapped laser light inside are often found in simulations of relativistic laser-plasmas. First, we examine existence and stability of onedimensional electromagnetic solitons formed in a relativistic laser interaction with an underdense cold plasma. In a weakly relativistic model, the original equation of the nonlinear Schrodinger type, with local and no...
متن کاملExploring novel target structures for manipulating relativistic laser–plasma interaction
The improved laser-to-pedestal contrast ratio enabled by current high-power laser pulse cleaning techniques allows the fine features of the target survive before the main laser pulse arrives. We propose to introduce the nano-fabrication technologies into laser–plasma interaction to explore the novel effects of micro-structures. We found out that not only laser-driven particle sources but also t...
متن کاملRelativistic 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...
