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 کاملFields of a radially polarized Gaussian laser beam beyond the paraxial approximation.
Analytic expressions for the fields of a tightly focused radially polarized Gaussian laser beam are derived, accurate to epsilon5, where epsilon is the associated diffraction angle. The fields satisfy Maxwell's equations, and the calculated beam power based on them is significantly different from that of the paraxial-approximation fields.
متن کاملAcceleration and Storage of Polarized Electron Beams
This article provides an update on my review at SPIN96 [1] on activities surrounding spin polarization in electron storage rings and accelerators. In the written versions of previous talks at the Spin Symposia I have opened with a review of the basic theory of radiative spin polarization, spin precession and resonance phenomena. That background material is readily available in the proceedings o...
متن کاملGeneration of radially polarized beams with an image-rotating resonator.
We show how a passive image-rotating optical resonator can be used to convert a linearly polarised, lowest-order Gaussian beam into a radially polarized beam. The image and polarization rotation of the cavity removes the frequency degeneracy of the modes, making it possible to select the radially polarized mode by cavity tuning. With the addition of gain, the same cavity should operate as a rad...
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...
