Proceedings ArticleDOI
Directly diode-pumped Yb:glass laser with 2.8-W cw output power
TL;DR: In this article, a Yb:glass laser was side-pumped by two 20-W diode bars with negligible thermal effects, which were combined together by using a polarizer and a halfwave plate.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Angular dependence of isotope enrichment in ultrafast laser ablation plumes
TL;DR: In this paper, the angular distribution of isotope enrichments and the dependence on laser parameters and on the atomic-transport mean free path between collisions were examined as a function of ion energy, ion charge state, and atomic mass.

Fusion Driven Transmutation of Transuranics in a Molten Salt
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the controllability, time evolution, and effects of spatial distribution of the neutronics in the transmutation in the subcritical operations regime of a transmutator, in which our neutron sources are small, distributed, and can be monitored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subnanosecond Time-Resolved Electron Diffraction from Thin Crystalline Gold Films
TL;DR: In this article, a 25-nm thick gold single crystal irradiated by a synchronized infrared optical pulse was used to study the change in electron diffraction intensity following laser heating (the Debye-Waller effect) as a function of delay time.
Book ChapterDOI
Ultrahigh Peak Power Generation: Present and Future
Abstract: Compact solid-state laser sources based on “Chirped Pulse Amplification” are capable of generating intensities in excess of 1018 W/cm2 and make possible the investigation of a new class of relativistic experiments in a physical regime previously inaccessible.
