Investigation of a hydrogen plasma waveguide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A hydrogen plasma waveguide for high-intensity laser pulses is described. The guiding channel is formed by a small-scale discharge in a hydrogen-filled capillary. The measured lifetime of the capillary is inferred to be greater than 10(6) shots. The results of interferometric measurements of the electron density in the capillary are presented. The guiding channel is found to be highly ionized with an axial electron density of 2.7x10(18) cm(-3), and parabolic, the curvature corresponding to a matched spot-size of 37.5 microm.

Transverse interferometric measurements are presented of the plasma channel formed in a hydrogen-filled capillary discharge waveguide recently used to generate 1 GeV electrons in a laser-driven plasma accelerator for the first time. The measurements were found to be in good agreement with nonlocal thermal equilibrium simulations, but showed significant differences with the results of a quasista...
متن کاملImproving the Thermal Characteristics of Semiconductor Lasers Using a New Asymmetric Waveguide Structure
Self-heating leads to a temperature rise of the laser diode and limits the output power and efficiency due to increased loss and decreased differential gain. To control device self-heating, it is required to design the laser structure with a low optical loss, while the heat flux must spread out of the device efficiently. In this study, a new asymmetric waveguide design is proposed and th...
