Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:35.34(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The counter-crossing injection, which is a realistic setup for applications, by two sub-relativistic laser pulses colliding is demonstrated in sub-relativistic intensity laser pulse interaction with plasma. The laser pulses in plasma are self-focused to higher intensity when the laser power is above the threshold of a relativistic self-focusing. The collision of self-focused laser pulses generates a high-quality electron beam with high repeatability. The generated monoenergetic electron beam has 14 MeV of the peak energy, 11% of the energy spread, 22 pC of the charge, 1.6mm mrad of the normalized emittance, and 50% of the repeatability.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:55.21(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Laser-driven plasma accelerators have been conceived to be the next-generation particle accelerators, promising ultrahigh field particle acceleration with a very short duration electron beam. In the case of electron beam generation by using one laser pulse via wavebreaking, however, it is not stable. In order to generate a stable high-quality electron beam, optical injection by collision of two laser pulses is proposed. Recently, the electron generation with this approach was demonstrated. The experiment was carried out by the perfect head-on collision, which has problems to the backward laser light and the extraction of the generated electron beam. The counter-crossing injection, which is a realistic setup for applications, by two sub-relativistic laser pulses collision with the colliding angle of 45 is demonstrated. The collision of two laser pulses generates a high-quality electron beam with high repeatability. The generated monoenergetic electron beam has 14.4 MeV of the peak energy, 10.6% of the energy spread, 21.8 pC of the charge, 1.6 mm mrad of the normalized emittance, and 47.4% of the repeatability.

Times Cited Count:36 Percentile:75.52(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)An experiment for the laser self-guiding studies has been carried out with 100 TW laser pulse interaction with the long underdense plasma. Formation of extremely long plasma channel with its length, about 10 mm, 20 times above the Rayleigh length is observed. The self-focusing channel features such as the laser pulse significant bending and the electron cavity formation are demonstrated experimentally for the first time.

The terawatt laser beam was focused by using an off-axis parabolic mirror with f=648 mm. We observed quasi-monoenergetic electron beams in the forward direction. The peak energy of quasi-monoenergetic component of the electron beam was increased from 9 MeV to 20 MeV with a energy spread of 20 increasing the plasma density from to . However, the quasi-monoenergetic component of the electron beam disappeared at a plasma density of , and non-equilibrium (non Maxwellian) spectrum of the electron beam was observed. The table-top laser driven fs quasi-monoenergetic electron beam which is applicable to variety of fields has been demonstrated.

Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:37.28(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The characteristics of X-ray sources generated by p-polarized femtosecond laser-solid interactions are experimentally studied in the relativistic regime. By use of knife-edge image technique and a single-photon-counting X-ray CCD camera, we obtain the source size, the spectrum and the conversion efficiency of the X-ray sources. The experimental results show that the conversion efficiency of photons reaches an optimum value 7.0810/sr at the laser intensity of 1.610W/cm, which is different from the Reich's simulation results. We find that about 10% of laser energy is converted into the forward hot electrons at the laser intensity of 1.610W/cm.
