Towards manipulating relativistic laser pulses with micro-tube plasma lenses.
Efficient coupling of intense laser pulses to solid-density matter is critical to many applications including ion acceleration for cancer therapy. At relativistic intensities, the focus has been mainly on investigating various laser beams irradiating initially overdense flat interfaces with little or no control over the interaction. Here, we propose a novel approach that leverages recent advanc...
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...
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 کاملGuiding of relativistic laser pulses by preformed plasma channels.
Guiding of relativistically intense (>10(18) W/cm2) laser pulses over more than 10 diffraction lengths has been demonstrated using plasma channels formed by hydrodynamic shock. Pulses up to twice the self-guiding threshold power were guided without aberration by tuning the guide profile. Transmitted spectra and mode images showed the pulse remained in the channel over the entire length. Experim...
متن کاملCollective Relativistic Phenomena with Femtosecond Laser Pulses
Relativistically invariant self-similarity approach is applied for description of collective particle production by femtosecond laser pulses. Recent outstanding advances in laser technique, namely, generation of ultrashort laser pulses ensuring intensities on the target of an order of 10 W/cm opened a wide class of new phenomena of production of intense and "highly-coherent" beams of radiations...
