Journal ArticleDOI
Laser-triggered ion acceleration and table top isotope production
Koshichi Nemoto,Anatoly Maksimchuk,Sudeep Banerjee,Kirk Flippo,Gerard Mourou,Donald P. Umstadter,B. Yu. Bychenkov +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed deuterons accelerated to energies of about 2 MeV in the interaction of relativistically intense 10 TW, 400 fs laser pulse with a thin layer of deuterated polystyrene deposited on Mylar film.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-focusing, channel formation, and high-energy ion generation in interaction of an intense short laser pulse with a He jet
G. S. Sarkisov,B. Yu. Bychenkov,V. N. Novikov,Vladimir Tikhonchuk,Anatoly Maksimchuk,Shouyuan Chen,R. Wagner,Gerard Mourou,Donald P. Umstadter +8 more
TL;DR: A kinetic model is developed which describes the plasma channel formation and the subsequent ambient gas excitation and ionization and the axial profile of laser channel and on-axis laser intensity is reconstructed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smart microscope: an adaptive optics learning system for aberration correction in multiphoton confocal microscopy.
TL;DR: This adaptive optical correction scheme is implemented in an all-reflective system by use of extremely short (10-fs) optical pulses, and it is shown that the scanning area of an f:1 off-axis parabola can be increased by nine times with this technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Picosecond microwave pulses generated with a subpicosecond laser-driven semiconductor switch
TL;DR: In this article, a subpicosecond laser has been used to trigger a GaAs photoconductive switch driving a dipole antenna, and the microwave transient produced was measured with a correlation technique to have a FWHM of less than 3 psec.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suppression of the amplified spontaneous emission in chirped-pulse-amplification lasers by clean high-energy seed-pulse injection
TL;DR: In this paper, a femtosecond terawatt Ti:sapphire chirped-pulse-amplification (CPA) laser was suppressed by injecting clean microjoule seed pulses into the regenerative amplifier.
