Effects of laser polarization on jet emission of fast electrons in femtosecond-laser plasmas.

چکیده
Effects of laser polarization on fast electron emission are studied from an aluminum target irradiated by ultrashort laser pulses at 2 x 10(16) W/cm(2). Jet emission of outgoing fast electrons collimated in the polarization direction is observed for s-polarized laser irradiation, whereas for p-polarized irradiation highly directional emission of outgoing fast electrons is found in the direction close to the normal of the target. The behavior of ingoing fast electrons into the target for s- and p-polarized irradiation is also investigated by observing x-ray bremsstrahlung radiation at the backside of the target.

Effects of laser intensity on the emission direction of fast electrons in laser-solid interactions
The dependence of emission direction of fast electrons on the laser intensity has been investigated. The experimental results show that, at nonrelativistic laser intensities, the emission of fast electrons is mainly in the polarization plane. With the increase of the laser intensity, fast electrons emit towards the laser propagation direction from laser polarization direction. At relativistic l...
متن کاملStrong-field ionization of clusters using two-cycle pulses at 1.8 μm
The interaction of intense laser pulses with nanoscale particles leads to the production of high-energy electrons, ions, neutral atoms, neutrons and photons. Up to now, investigations have focused on near-infrared to X-ray laser pulses consisting of many optical cycles. Here we study strong-field ionization of rare-gas clusters (103 to 105 atoms) using two-cycle 1.8 μm laser pulses to access a ...
متن کاملBackward stimulated radiation from filaments in nitrogen gas and air pumped by circularly polarized 800 nm femtosecond laser pulses.
We report on strong backward stimulated emission at 337 nm in nitrogen gas pumped by circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses at 800 nm. A distinct dependence of the backward UV spectrum on pump laser polarization and intensity is observed, pointing to the occurrence of backward amplified spontaneous emission inside filaments. We attribute the population inversion to inelastic collision be...
متن کاملExperimental evidence for various mechanisms for suprathermal electron generation in P-polarized laser produced plasmas
2014 The angular dependence of the absorbed laser energy which appears in suprathermal electrons and their temperature have been studied in P-polarization, in laser produced plasmas. We have used two laser wavelengths 10.6 03BCm and 0.53 03BCm at irradiances of 1012 and 1014 W/cm2 respectively, focused on plane mylar targets. The results show that in addition to resonant absorption fast electro...

One of the interesting Laser-Plasma phenomena, when the laser power is high and ultra intense, is the generation of large amplitude plasma waves (Wakefield) and electron acceleration. An intense electromagnetic laser pulse can create plasma oscillations through the action of the nonlinear pondermotive force. electrons trapped in the wake can be accelerated to high energies, more than 1 TW. Of t...
