Fast electron transport in high-intensity laser- plasma interactions diagnosed by optical and ion emission
نویسندگان
چکیده
Light and proton emission from rear surface of sandwich-like targets, which are irradiated by intense femtosecond laser pulses, have been measured. It is found that both of them depend on the transport material and density inside the targets. For metal transport layers the patterns of the optical images and the proton beams are uniform. While for the transport layers of dielectric, low-density foam and vacuum gap, the patterns are broken up. This indicates that the fast electron beams are also broken up probably due to instabilities.

Design of a new asymmetric waveguide in InP-Based multi-quantum well laser
Today, electron leakage in InP-based separate confinement laser diode has a serious effect on device performance. Control of electron leakage current is the aim of many studies in semiconductor laser industry. In this study, for the first time, a new asymmetric waveguide structure with n-interlayer for a 1.325 μm InP-based laser diode with InGaAsP multi-quantum well is proposed and theoreticall...
متن کاملاثر کانال یونی بر خودکانونی شدن پالس لیزری گاؤسی در پلاسماهای کم چگال
We have considered the self-focusing of a Gaussian laser pulse in unmagnetized plasma. High-intensity electromagnetic fields cause the variation of electron density in plasma. These changes in the special conditions cause the acceleration of electrons to the higher energy and velocities. Thus the equation of plasma density evolution was obtained considering the electrons ponderomotive force. T...
متن کاملKinetics of ion and prompt electron emission from laser-produced plasma
We investigated ion emission dynamics of laser-produced plasma from several elements, comprised of metals and non-metals (C, Al, Si, Cu, Mo, Ta, W), under vacuum conditions using a Faraday cup. The estimated ion flux for various targets studied showed a decreasing tendency with increasing atomic mass. For metals, the ion flux is found to be a function of sublimation energy. A comparison of temp...
متن کاملEnergy Gain of Magnetized Cylindrical D-T Targets in Fast Ignition Fusion
In recent years, many different plans have been considered to use the nuclear energy gained from inertial confinement fusion (ICF) as attempts to obtain high energy efficiencies. In conventional ICF methods, a small amount (about mg) of the deuterium–tritium compound is confined in a small spherical chamber of a few millimeters in radius and compressed by laser or heavy ion beams with powers in...
