Diagnostics of Laser-Plasma Interactions

2013
The field of laser-plasma diagnostics is large, and is certainly too big to be covered fully in a short article. Here, we concentrate on a number of diagnostics which are of relevance to two areas of significant current interest, namely (1) relativistic laser-plasma interactions, and (2) hohlraum-driven inertial confinement fusion.

Relativistic Laser-Plasma Interactions

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009
Ever since the much acclaimed paper of Akhiezer and Polovin [367], plasma theorists have been attempting to comprehend complex dynamics related to the propagation of high and ultra-high intensity electromagnetic (EM) radiation through a plasma.

Investigation of Laser Plasma Interactions

2021
Both short and long pulse laser plasma interactions are investigated by theoreti- cal analysis and modern computational techniques. An extensive set of simulations of short pulse laser plasma based particle accelerators are performed with the aim of improving performance and diagnostics of the accelerators.

Relativistic Laser–Plasma Interaction

2010
Sporadically, relativistic energies have been considered already in the foregoing chapters. As the laser flux density in the near infrared and visible long wavelength regime exceeds \(I\simeq 10^{18}\,{\textrm{Wcm}^{-2}}\), the electron quiver energy assumes relativistic values. A brief presentation of basic relativity may be useful here.

Relativistic Laser Plasma Interaction

2001
The new technique of Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) allows to generate laser pulses with focussed intensities far above 1018W/cm2. It has opened a new branch of relativistic plasma physics.1 At intensities beyond 1018W/cm2, now available from table-top systems, the laser pulses self-focus in plasma channels, a few wavelengths in diameter, and ...

Proton Shock Acceleration in Laser-Plasma Interactions

Physical Review Letters, 2004
The formation of strong, high Mach number (2-3), electrostatic shocks by laser pulses incident on overdense plasma slabs is observed in one- and two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, for a wide range of intensities, pulse durations, target thicknesses, and densities.

Nonlinear laser–plasma interactions

Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics, 2017
Soon after lasers were invented, there was tremendous curiosity on the nonlinear phenomena which would result in their interaction with a fully ionized plasma. Apart from the basic interest, it was realized that it could be used for the achievement of nuclear fusion in the laboratory.

Nonlinear theory of intense laser-plasma interactions

Physical Review Letters, 1990
A nonlinear theory of intense laser-plasma interactions is developed and used to describe relativistic optical guiding, coherent harmonic radiation production, and nonlinear plasma wakefield generation. Relativistic optical guiding is found to be ineffective in preventing the leading portion (\ensuremath{\le} a plasma wavelength) of a laser pulse from ...

The trouble with laser-plasma interactions

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 1986
A brief review of stimulated Raman scattering and two plasmon decay, two of the dominant processes in the physics of laser-plasma interactions in the underdense corona, is presented together with some of the features of the Raman spectrum recurring in various observations.
