Laser-cluster interaction: x-ray production by short laser pulses.
We investigate the heating of the quasifree electrons in large rare-gas clusters (N exceeding 10(5) atoms) by short laser pulses at moderate intensities (I approximately = 10(15) W cm(-2)). We identify elastic large-angle backscattering of electrons at ionic cores in the presence of a laser field as an efficient heating mechanism. Its efficiency as well as the effect of collective electron moti...
متن کاملZeptosecond high harmonic keV x-ray waveforms driven by midinfrared laser pulses.
We demonstrate theoretically that the temporal structure of high harmonic x-ray pulses generated with midinfrared lasers differs substantially from those generated with near-infrared pulses, especially at high photon energies. In particular, we show that, although the total width of the x-ray bursts spans femtosecond time scales, the pulse exhibits a zeptosecond structure due to the interferenc...
متن کاملSimulation of laser-driven x-ray backlighter
One of applications proposed for PHELIX is ignition of hot laser sparks for x-ray shadowgraphy and K-shell absorption spectroscopy of heavy-ion-beam targets [1]. In 2004 we started numerical simulation and optimization of laserdriven x-ray backlighter. An emphasis of this study is on efficiency of conversion of the laser pulse energy into hard x-rays. Here we present the computational tools and...
متن کاملAll-laser-driven Thomson X-ray sources
We discuss the development of a new generation of accelerator-based hard X-ray sources driven exclusively by laser light. High-intensity laser pulses serve the dual roles: first, accelerating electrons by laser-driven plasma wakefields, and second, generating X-rays by inverse Compton scattering. Such all-laser-driven X-rays have recently been demonstrated to be energetic, tunable, relatively n...
متن کاملFeasibility of a Laboratory X-Ray Laser Pumped by Ultrashort UV Laser Pulses
In order to allow widespread application of soft X-ray lasers there is a strong effort worldwide to use as small as possible pump lasers for plasma production. Short pulse lasers (-c~ 1 ps), particularly in the UV, have attracted much interest, since extremely high intensities (up to 10 ~8 W/cm 2) can be achieved with a relatively high repetition rate. In this article we discuss their merit for...
