Observation of energetic terahertz pulses from relativistic solid density plasmas
We report the first experimental observation of terahertz (THz) radiation from the rear surface of a solid target while interacting with an intense laser pulse. Experimental and two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations show that the observed THz radiation is mostly emitted at large angles to the target normal. Numerical results point out that a large part of the emission originates from a m...
متن کاملAttosecond electron sheets and attosecond light pulses from relativistic laser wakefields in underdense plasmas
A method for producing dense attosecond electron sheets (tens nanometers thick corresponding to attosecond duration) and single intense attosecond light pulse is reported based on relativistic laser wakefields in underdense plasmas. By making use of gas targets this method allows for high repetition rates required for applications.
متن کاملAttosecond pulses measured from the attosecond lighthouse
The attosecond lighthouse is a method of using ultrafast wavefront rotation with high-harmonic generation to create a series of coherent, spatially separated attosecond pulses. Previously, temporal measurements by photoelectron streaking characterized isolated attosecond pulses created by manipulating the single-atom response1–4. The attosecond lighthouse, in contrast, generates a series of pul...
متن کاملModeling generation and characterization of attosecond pulses
Generation of high-order harmonics has emerged as a powerful technique for the generation of broadband coherent radiation in the EUV regime. This has lead to the development of table-top EUV sources that can produce attosecond pulses. These pulses can serve as a probe to resolve atomic attosecond dynamics and image atomic orbitals and molecular motion. Due to high spatial and temporal coherence...
متن کاملIsolation of attosecond pulses from the attosecond lighthouse
This paper proposes and verifies methods to improve the isolation of the attosecond pulses generated via the attosecond lighthouse technique in gases. We find that the converging fundamental field can compensate for the inherent diverging wavefront of the attosecond pulses, but is only valid over a limited portion of the spectrum and sacrifices the maximum attainable photon energy. We discuss t...
