Generation of high-fidelity, down-chirped sub-10 fs mJ pulses through filamentation for driving relativistic laser-matter interactions at 1 kHz
Christoph P. Hauri,Alexandre Trisorio,Michele Merano,G. Rey,Rodrigo Lopez-Martens,Gerard Mourou +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple add on for multicycle, multimJ Ti:sapphire-based amplifier systems was presented to efficiently generate 9.5fs pulses with 1.8mJ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sub-surface terahertz imaging through uneven surfaces: visualizing Neolithic wall paintings in Çatalhöyük
Gillian C. Walker,John W. Bowen,Wendy Matthews,Soumali Roychowdhury,J. Labaune,Gerard Mourou,Michel Menu,Ian Hodder,J. Bianca Jackson +8 more
TL;DR: An imaging technique is presented, based around Gaussian beam-mode coupling, to visualize the obscured painting at Çatalhöyük, Turkey, which is hidden under uneven covering layers of plaster.
Journal ArticleDOI
Second-harmonic generation and wave-front correction of a terawatt laser system
J. Queneuille,Frédéric Druon,Anatoly Maksimchuk,Gilles Chériaux,Gerard Mourou,Koshichi Nemoto +5 more
TL;DR: By combining second-harmonic generation and wave-front correction of a hybrid Ti:sapphire-Nd:glass terawatt laser chain, this work was able to generate a focused intensity above 10(19) W/cm(2), with an estimated 10(9):1 intensity contrast ratio.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Picosecond Electron Diffraction
TL;DR: In this paper, a picosecond photoelectron burst generated by an optical pulse incident on the front end of a streak camera was used to study the laser-induced structural kinetics in the 2-second time domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Directly diode-pumped Yb: KY(WO4)2 regenerative amplifiers
TL;DR: Two Yb(3+) -doped KY(WO(4))(2) regenerative amplifiers, one end pumped by two 1.6-W single-stripe diodes at 940 nm and the other side pumped by one 20-W diode bar at 980 nm, are demonstrated.
