Attosecond electron sheets and attosecond light pulses from relativistic laser wakefields in underdense plasmas
A method for producing dense attosecond electron sheets (tens nanometers thick corresponding to attosecond duration) and single intense attosecond light pulse is reported based on relativistic laser wakefields in underdense plasmas. By making use of gas targets this method allows for high repetition rates required for applications.
متن کاملIntense circularly polarized attosecond pulse generation from relativistic laser plasmas using few-cycle laser pulses.
We have investigated the polarization of attosecond light pulses generated from relativistic few-cycle laser pulse interaction with the surface of overdense plasmas using particle-in-cell simulation. Under suitable conditions, a desired polarization state of the generated attosecond pulse can be achieved by controlling the polarization of the incident laser. In particular, an elliptically polar...
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...
متن کاملIsolated attosecond pulses from laser-driven synchrotron radiation.
A quantitative theory of attosecond pulse generation in relativistically driven overdense plasma slabs is presented based on an explicit analysis of synchrotron-type electron trajectories. The subcycle, field-controlled release, and subsequent nanometer-scale acceleration of relativistic electron bunches under the combined action of the laser and ionic potentials give rise to coherent radiation...
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...
