Numerical Studies on Tunable Coherent Radiations with a Laser-plasma Accelerator*
Generation of tunable coherent radiation is numerically investigated via the two-dimensional particle-in-cell (2DPIC) code developed by UNIST [1] and SIMPLEX developed by Spring-8. The electron beams can be produced by the laser-driven wakefield acceleration technique. The electron beam energy can be easily adjusted between 450 MeV and 800 MeV with a tapered density plasma on the order of 1×10 ...
متن کاملLaser Plasma Electron Linear Accelerator
The generation of an ultrashort relativistic electron bunch from a strong laser-plasma interaction have been studied by particle-in-cell simulations and observed experimentally. The electron beam was generated from the plasma created by focusing a Ti: sapphire 12 TW (tera watt) laser pulse at the edge of helium gas jet expanded into the vacuum from a pulsed supersonic nozzle. The laser pulse du...
متن کاملGenerating intense fully coherent soft x-ray radiation based on a laser-plasma accelerator.
Laser-plasma based accelerator has the potential to dramatically reduce the size and cost of future x-ray light sources to the university-laboratory scale. However, the large energy spread of the laser-plasma accelerated electron beam may hinder the way for short wavelength free-electron laser generation. In this paper, we propose a novel method for directly imprinting strong coherent micro-bun...
متن کاملPlasma Channels and Laser Pulse Tailoring for GeV laser-plasma accelerators
We have demonstrated distortion-free guiding of 1 TW pulses at near relativistic intensity (0.2 x 10 W/cm) over 60 Rayleigh lengths at 20 Hz repetition rate in a preformed helium plasma channel. As steps toward efficient channeled Laser Wakefield Acceleration up to the dephasing limit, we have upgraded our laser system from 1 to 4 TW, adapted femtosecond interferometric diagnostics to probe pla...
متن کاملA compact tunable polarized X-ray source based on laser-plasma helical undulators
Laser wakefield accelerators have great potential as the basis for next generation compact radiation sources because of their extremely high accelerating gradients. However, X-ray radiation from such devices still lacks tunability, especially of the intensity and polarization distributions. Here we propose a tunable polarized radiation source based on a helical plasma undulator in a plasma chan...
