Proceedings ArticleDOI
Small-Scale Self-Focusing Suppression at Intense Laser Beams in Mediums with Quadratic and Cubic Nonlinearity
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of small-scale self-focusing suppression at intense laser beams (1÷4TW/cm2) was developed and verified in experiments successfully.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Laser plasma interactions at electron-relativistic laser intensities
T. W. Johnston,Y. Beaudoin,Mohamed Chaker,C. Y. Côté,Jean-Claude Kieffer,J. P. Matte,Henri Pépin,C. Y. Chien,S. Coe,Gerard Mourou +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the field of ultrashort laser pulses at ultra high intensities and their interactions with plasmas is given, with emphasis on the background aspects, the basic experimental considerations and some possible applications.
Book ChapterDOI
Picosecond Switching in Josephson Tunnel Junctions
TL;DR: In this article, experimental and numerical studies of the dynamics of the Josephson tunnel junction driven by picosecond current pulses are reported. And the observed behavior is explained in terms of the "ccritical pulse charge" concept.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
X-ray Wakefield Acceleration and Betatron Radiation in Nanotubes
Xiaomei Zhang,Toshiki Tajima,Deano Farinella,Youngmin Shin,Gerard Mourou,J. Wheeler,Peter Taborek,Pison Chen,Baifei Shen +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated X-ray laser pulse induced wakefield acceleration in a nanotube inside a solid material via 2D particle-in-cell simulations and discussed the improved emittance of the energy-rich electrons.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Divergence of high order harmonic emission from intense laser interactions with solid targets
James Easter,John Nees,Bixue Hou,Aghapi Mordovanakis,Gerard Mourou,Alexander Thomas,Karl Krushelnick +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a change in the angle of emission was found to be beneficial in efficient isolated attosecond pulse production, where the laser plasma interaction reveals harmonic divergence <4 degrees and increasing with defocus.
