Ultrashort, Strongly Focused Laser Pulses in Free Space
Technological advances in ultrafast optics now allow the generation of laser pulses whose duration is as short as a few optical cycles of the electric field; furthermore, these pulses can be focused to a spot size comparable to the wavelength. These strongly focused, ultrashort laser pulses have found applications, for instance, in high-resolution microscopy, particle trapping and electron acce...
متن کاملTheory and group velocity of ultrashort, tightly focused laser pulses
The wave equation describing an ultrashort, tightly focused laser pulse in vacuum is solved analytically. Plasma dispersive effects are also included. Based on exact short-pulse solutions, analytical expressions are obtained for the pulse-length evolution, the pulse centroid motion, and the group velocity. Approximate shortpulse solutions are obtained to arbitrary order in the parameter ly2pL ,...
متن کاملIntense ultrashort electromagnetic pulses and the equation of motion
The equations of motion of charged particles under the influence of short electromagnetic pulses are investigated. The subcycle regime is considered, and the delta function approximation is applied. The effects of the self force are also considered, and the threshold where radiation becomes important is discussed. A dimensionless parameter is defined that signals the onset of radiation reaction...
متن کاملUltrashort Pulses
Ultrashort pulses usually are defined as those lasting less than a nanosecond. Low-energetic ultrashort pulses can be used, for instance, as a probe for studying the dynamics of ultrafast processes. Amplifying these pulses can deliver extremely high peak power, allowing applications such as laser particle acceleration, or γ-ray generation via Compton scattering on relativistic electrons. Existi...
متن کاملTailored-Beam Ultrashort Laser Pulses
Laser pulses with picosecond and femtosecond durations are now indispensable tools in many scientific disciplines. These ultrashort pulses provide unique temporal resolutions for investigations of phenomena taking place in comparable time ranges. In addition, optical energies squeezed into such short time windows yield extremely high peak powers and intensities, paving the way to generate unpre...
