Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma mirrors for ultrahigh-intensity optics

TL;DR: In this article, the temporal contrast of femtosecond (F2F) laser reflectors was investigated and it was shown that high-order harmonics of the laser frequency can be generated through two distinct mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proton acceleration with high-intensity ultrahigh-contrast laser pulses.

TL;DR: It is shown that the maximum proton energies are proportional to the p component of the laser electric field only and not to the ponderomotive force and that the characteristics of the proton beams originating from both target sides are almost identical.
Journal ArticleDOI

Double plasma mirror for ultrahigh temporal contrast ultraintense laser pulses

TL;DR: A very efficient optical device that employs the plasma mirror technique to increase the contrast of high-power laser systems when the pulse is reflected on two consecutive plasma mirrors is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of Resonant Surface-Wave Excitation in the Relativistic Regime through Measurements of Proton Acceleration from Grating Targets

TL;DR: The interaction of laser pulses with thin grating targets, having a periodic groove at the irradiated surface, is experimentally investigated and an enhanced laser-target coupling is demonstrated for the first time in the relativistic regime of ultrahigh intensity >10(19) W/cm(2).
Journal ArticleDOI

Optically controlled solid-density transient plasma gratings.

TL;DR: It is shown how sinusoidal plasma gratings of adjustable spatial periodicity and depth can be used as a "spatial ruler" to determine the source size of the high-order harmonic beams produced at the surface of an overdense plasma.
