Journal ArticleDOI

Hard X-ray generation from solids driven by relativistic intensity in the lambda-cubed regime

TL;DR: In this paper, relativistic intensity laser pulses encompassed at focus by a volume of a few wavelengths cubed with solids are examined, and the Kα and Kβ peaks of all targets were obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of the plasma channel dynamics and Coulomb explosion in the interaction of a high-intensity laser pulse with a He gas jet

TL;DR: In this article, the first interferometric observations of the dynamics of electron-ion cavitation of relativistically self-focused intense 4 TW, 400 fs laser pulse in a He gas jet were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

External electro-optic integrated circuit probing

TL;DR: In this paper, an external electro-optic measurement system with subpicosecond resolution has been developed, which is designed to operate as a noncontact probe of voltages in electrical devices and circuits with modified wafer-level test equipment and no special circuit preparation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybrid grating - prism stretcher - compressor system with cubic phase and wavelength tunability and decreased alignment sensitivity.

TL;DR: A novel stretcher–compressor design for chirped-pulse amplification systems is presented, which incorporates high-groove-density gratings and an intragrating prism pair, and is shown to be highly cubic-phase tunable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Summary of the IZEST science and aspiration

TL;DR: The International Center for Zetta-Exawatt Science and Technology (IZEST) program as discussed by the authors is an international collaboration of 30 associated laboratories across 13 countries, with the aim to perform laser-based high energy physics.
