Direct 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 کاملVacuum self-focusing of very intense laser beams
We argue that long-range photon-photon attraction induced by the dipole interaction of two electron-positron loops can lead to "vacuum self-focusing" of very intense laser beams. The focusing angle Î ̧F is found to increase with the beam intensity I as Î ̧F âˆ1⁄4 I4/3; for the laser beams available at present or in the near future, Î ̧F 10-10 10-7.
متن کاملIntracavity generation of radially polarized CO2 laser beams based on a simple binary dielectric diffraction grating.
We present experimental results on the intracavity generation of radially polarized light by incorporation of a polarization-selective mirror in a CO(2)-laser resonator. The selectivity is achieved with a simple binary dielectric diffraction grating etched in the backsurface of the mirror substrate. Very high polarization selectivity was achieved, and good agreement of simulation and experiment...
متن کاملEfficient generation of ultra-intense few-cycle radially polarized laser pulses.
We report on efficient generation of millijoule-level, kilohertz-repetition-rate few-cycle laser pulses with radial polarization by combining a gas-filled hollow-waveguide compression technique with a suitable polarization mode converter. Peak power levels >85 GW are routinely achieved, capable of reaching relativistic intensities >10(19) W/cm2 with carrier-envelope-phase control, by employin...
متن کاملVacuum Laser Acceleration Tests
We propose to test for the possibility of accelerating an electron beam (utilizing the existing high-power CO2 laser and low emittance electron beam at Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility) in vacuum to the current CO2 laser power limit. The latest vacuum laser acceleration results can be verified [1] by the schemes discussed here.
