Improved beam waist formula for ultrashort, tightly focused linearly, radially, and azimuthally polarized laser pulses in free space.
We derive an asymptotically accurate formula for the beam waist of ultrashort, tightly focused fundamental linearly polarized, radially polarized, and azimuthally polarized modes in free space. We compute the exact beam waist via numerical cubature to ascertain the accuracy with which our formula approximates the exact beam waist over a broad range of parameters of practical interest. Based on ...
متن کاملTheory and group velocity of ultrashort, tightly focused laser pulses
The wave equation describing an ultrashort, tightly focused laser pulse in vacuum is solved analytically. Plasma dispersive effects are also included. Based on exact short-pulse solutions, analytical expressions are obtained for the pulse-length evolution, the pulse centroid motion, and the group velocity. Approximate shortpulse solutions are obtained to arbitrary order in the parameter ly2pL ,...
متن کاملDirect Electron Acceleration with Radially Polarized Laser Beams
In the past years, there has been a growing interest in innovative applications of radially polarized laser beams. Among them, the particular field of laser-driven electron acceleration has received much attention. Recent developments in high-power infrared laser sources at the INRS Advanced Laser Light Source (Varennes, Qc, Canada) allowed the experimental observation of a quasi-monoenergetic ...

متن کاملAttosecond electron bunches accelerated and compressed by radially polarized laser pulses and soft-X-ray pulses from optical undulators
We present a study of direct laser driven electron acceleration and scaling of attosecond bunch compression in unbound vacuum. Simple analytical expressions and detailed three-dimensional numerical calculations including space charge and non-paraxial laser fields reveal the conditions for compression to attosecond electron sheets. Intermediate emittance minima suitable for brilliant x-ray gener...
