چکیده
Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, India. The Institute currently has a 20 terawatt (TW), 30 femtosecond (fs) table top chirped pulse amplifi cation (CPA) titanium -sapphire laser facility and will have a fully functional 100 TW, 25 fs facility by the middle of 2011. This upgradation would propel existing research at the Institute to address ultraintense lasermatter interaction studies towards newer themes cutting across different areas of sciencehigh energy density physics, physics of laser fusion, laboratory astrophysics, novel particle sources etc. It will also help in an even greater integration into the international community through joint experiments with visitors at the Institute.

Influence of Grating Parameters on the Field Enhancement of an Optical Antenna under Laser Irradiation
In this study, a new approach for simulation of electric field enhancement ofplane wave laser around optical antenna was used to convert free-propagating opticalradiation to localized energy. A tapered gold tip design as a novel geometry of opticalantenna is introduced and numerically analyzed based on particle swarm optimization(PSO) by solving the Maxwell equations wit...

متن کاملAn overview of therapeutic applications of ultrasound based on synergetic effects with gold nanoparticles and laser excitation
Acoustic cavitation which occurs at high intensities of ultrasound waves can be fatal for tumor cells. The existence of dissolved gases and also the presence of nanoparticles (NPs) in a liquid, irradiated by ultrasound, decrease the acoustic cavitation onset threshold and the resulting bubbles collapse. On the other hand, due to unique capabilities and optical properties of gold nanoparticles (...
متن کاملGeneration of High Order Harmonics from H2+ Molecule Ion by Using Homogenous and Inhomogeneous Laser Fields
We solved one dimensional Schrodinger equation in a H2+ molecular environment by using 3 femtosecond homogeneous and nonhomogeneous laser fields. In homogeneous case, we found out that larger inter nuclear distances result in earlier ionization and also more instability in the wave packet. We deducted that the more the instability is, the more modulated the power spectrum will be. So, by choosi...
