A picosecond CO2 laser was used successfully in a number of experiments exploring advanced methods of particle acceleration [1]. Proton acceleration
from gas-jet plasma exemplifies another advantage of employing the increase in laser wavelength from the optical to the mid-IR
region. Recent theoretical- and experimental-studies of ion acceleration from laser-generated plasma point to better ways
to control the ion beam’s energy when plasma approaches the critical density. Studying this regime with solid-state lasers
is problematic due to the dearth of plasma sources at the critical electron density ∼1021 cm−3, corresponding to laser wavelength λ = 1 μm. CO2 laser offers a solution. The CO2 laser’s 10 μm wavelength shifts the critical plasma density to 1019 cm−3, a value attainable with gas jets. Capitalizing on this approach, we focused a circular polarized 1-TW CO2 laser beam onto a hydrogen gas jet and observed a monoenergetic proton beam in the 1–2 MeV range. Simultaneously, we optically
probed the laser/plasma interaction region with visible light, revealing holes bored by radiation pressure, as well as quasi-stationary
soliton-like plasma formations. Our findings from 2D PIC simulations agree with experimental results and aid in their interpretation. 相似文献

The paper is devoted to recent results concerning investigation of physical processes occurring in a “laser greenhouse” target.
Results of experimental and theoretical studies of laser-pulse interaction with a low-density absorber of the target, namely,
with a porous substance having density close to the plasma critical density, are presented. On the basis of a vast cycle of
experiments carried out in a number of laboratories, it is shown that the absorption of the laser radiation in porous media,
including those with a density exceeding the critical one by at least a factor of 4 to 6, has a bulk nature and is distributed
over the target depth. In particular, the laser-radiation absorption region in a porous substance with density 10−3–10−2 g/cm3 is extended into the target 400–100 μm, respectively. The coefficient of absorption of laser radiation with intensity 1014–1015 W/cm2 in porous substances, including those of the supercritical density, is 70–90%. Experiments have not shown enhanced (compared
to a solid-state target) radiation intensity associated with a possible development of parametric instabilities in an extended
laser plasma of low-density porous media, as well as noticeable contribution of fast electrons to the energy balance and their
effect on the energy transfer. In this paper, theoretical models are developed explaining features of the laser-radiation
absorption and energy transfer in porous media. These models are based on the phenomenon of laser-radiation interaction with
solid components of a porous substance and plasma production inside pores and cells of the medium. The efficiency of energy
conversion in the vicinity of the ignition threshold for the laser-greenhouse target is investigated in the case of an absorber
having the above properties. Numerical calculations have shown that a thermonuclear-gain coefficient of 1 to 2 (with respect
to the energy absorbed) is attained for a laser-radiation energy of 100 kJ.

A sequential three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell simulation code PICPSI-3D with a user friendly graphical user interface
(GUI) has been developed and used to study the interaction of plasma with ultrahigh intensity laser radiation. A case study
of laser–plasma-based electron acceleration has been carried out to assess the performance of this code. Simulations have
been performed for a Gaussian laser beam of peak intensity 5 × 1019 W/cm2 propagating through an underdense plasma of uniform density 1 × 1019 cm − 3, and for a Gaussian laser beam of peak intensity 1.5 × 1019 W/cm2 propagating through an underdense plasma of uniform density 3.5 × 1019 cm − 3. The electron energy spectrum has been evaluated at different time-steps during the propagation of the laser beam. When the
plasma density is 1 × 1019 cm − 3, simulations show that the electron energy spectrum forms a monoenergetic peak at ~14 MeV, with an energy spread of ±7 MeV.
On the other hand, when the plasma density is 3.5 × 1019 cm − 3, simulations show that the electron energy spectrum forms a monoenergetic peak at ~23 MeV, with an energy spread of ±7.5 MeV. 相似文献

We describe a new technique to measure the UV/visible absorption spectrum of the ablated material during the laser pulse.
The technique utilizes the continuum emission from one laser produced plasma as a light source to measure the absorption properties
of a second laser produced plasma which is formed on a semi-transparent target with an array of 40 μm holes. A 6 ns, 1064
nm laser was used to ablate a Ag target and the plasma absorption was measured in the range 450–625 nm for a laser fluence
of 1 J cm−2. The total absorption cross-section is (0.5–1.5)×10−17 cm2 in the range 450–540 nm. By comparing the measured absorption with a calculation using the plasma spectroscopy code FLYCHK
it can be concluded that, in the wavelength region examined here, the absorption is mainly due to bound-bound transitions. 相似文献

Two methods of preparation of the devices for visualization of pulsed and continuous near-IR (near infrared) are described
and the results of conversion of pulsed and continuous IR (800–1360 nm) laser radiation into the visible range of spectra

materials of GaSe

S1 − x
(0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) are presented. Converted light can be detected in transmission or reflection geometry as a visible spot corresponding
to the real size of the incident laser beam. Developed device structures can be used for checking if the laser is working
or not, for optical adjustment, for visualization of distribution of laser radiation over the cross of the beam and for investigation
of the content of the laser radiation. Low energy (power density) limit for visualization of the IR laser pulses with 2–3
ps duration for these device structures are: between 4.6–2.1 μJ (3 × 10−4−1 × 10−4 W/cm2) at 1200 nm; between 8.4–2.6 μJ (4.7 × 10−4−1.5 × 10−4 W/cm2) at 1300 nm; between 14.4–8.1 μJ (8.2 × 10−4–4.6 × 10−4 W/cm2) at 1360 nm. Threshold damage density is more than 10 MW/cm2 at λ = 1060 nm, pulse duration τ = 35 ps. The results are compared with commercially existing laser light visualizators. 相似文献

We have experimentally investigated the interaction of high-power neodymium laser pulses in the intensity range 1013–1014 W/cm2 with flat low-density (0.5–10 mg/cm3) agar-agar targets under conditions of interest for problems of inertial nuclear fusion. Optical and x-ray methods with high
temporal and spatial resolution were used to examine the dependence of absorption and scattering of the incident beam on the
initial mean density and thickness of the irradiated samples. We show that when a porous target is irradiated, a bulk absorption
layer of high-temperature plasma is produced inside the target whose dimensions are determined by the initial density of the
material. The time dependence and spectral composition of the harmonics 2ω
0 and 3ω
0/2 observed in the plasma-scattered radiation are measured. A theoretical model is developed that describes the interaction
of high-power laser pulses with a porous medium. Predictions of the model, based on the hypothesis of two stages of homogenization
of the target material—a fast stage (0.1–0.3 ns) and a slow stage (1–3 ns), are in good agreement with the experimental data.

This paper presents the results of experiments on two-stage heating of a dense plasma by a relativistic electron beam in the
GOL-3 facility. A dense plasma with a length of about a meter and a hydrogen density up to 1017 cm−3 was created in the main plasma, whose density was 1015 cm−3. In the process of interacting with the plasma, the electron beam (1 MeV, 40 kA, 4 μs) imparts its energy to the electrons of the main plasma through collective effects. The heated electrons, as they disperse
along the magnetic field lines, in turn reach the region of dense plasma and impart their energy to it by pairwise collisions.
Estimates based on experimental data are given for the parameters of the flux of hot plasma electrons, the energy released
in the dense plasma, and the energy balance of the beam-plasma system. The paper discusses the dynamics of the plasma, which
is inhomogeneous in density and temperature, including the appearance of pressure waves.

The surface distribution of elements is studied by scanning a 3-MeV proton beam along the surface of a bcc-Fe sample implanted
with aluminum ions in the dose interval (1–50) · 1016 cm−2. Ring-shaped regions, up to 30 μm in diameter, with a high density of aluminum, which appear at implantation doses (5–20) · 1016 cm−2, are observed. These regions appear as a result of radiation-stimulated segregation processes. A mechanism based on the existence
of a low density of dislocations in the initial crystal is proposed to explain the implanted impurity segregation processes.

Smoothing of laser beam non-uniformities using gas jets has been studied. The experiment has been performed with the PALS
laser working at 0.44 μm with an intensity of about 1015 W/cm2. The laser beam has been split in two by a prism thus creating an artificial large-scale non-uniformity (≈90 μm). We recorded
time resolved and static images of laser-gas jet interaction with and without an Al target. Multi 1D and 2D simulations show
that such interaction acts redistributing the over-intensities over larger surface. This effect has to be attributed to ionization
processes with consequent laser beam refraction. Results show that Argon gas jet produces a strong refraction of the laser
beam thus strongly reducing the initial two spots separation. 相似文献

The dynamics of near-surface plasma formation and the formation of an erosion plasma flame was investigated for quasi-continuous
laser radiation (λ=1.06 μm, q=0.1–10 MW/cm2, τ∼1.5 msec) acting on bismuth targets in air. The absence of low-threshold plasma formation at q<2 MW/cm2 was established and explained. Instabilities in the plasma formation were revealed and the range of laser radiation power
densities (2≤q≤4 MW/cm2) at which these instabilities take place was determined. At q≥5.4 MW/cm2, brightening of the flame was noted. The dependence of the luminescence temperature of the flame on the laser radiation power
density q was determined.

Experimental results on interaction of a rotating relativistic electron beam with plasma and neutral gas are presented. The
rotating relativistic electron beam has been propagated up to a distance of 150 cm in a plasma. The response of the plasma
to the rotating electron beam is found to be of magnetic diffusion type over a plasma density range 1011–1013 cm−3. Excitation of the axial and azimuthal return currents by the rotating beam and subsequent trapping of the azimuthal return
current layer by the magnetic mirror field are observed. A field-reversed configuration has been formed by the rotating relativistic
electron beam when injected into neutral hydrogen gas. We have observed field reversal up to three times the initial field
in an axial length of 100 cm. 相似文献

2 laser using a miniature water spray is demonstrated. An ablation threshold of 1.4 J/cm2, an optimal energy density of 9–10 J/cm2, and a corresponding specific ablation energy of 25–30 J/mm3 are found for pig thighbone compacta at λ=9.57 μm and a beam waist diameter of 0.5 mm. The water spray alleviates tissue
carbonization even at high laser pulse repetition rates and increases ablation efficiency.

The x-ray spectra of a plasma generated by heating CO2 and Ar clusters with high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses with q
las≃1018 W/cm2 are investigated. Spatially resolved x-ray spectra of a cluster plasma are obtained for the first time. Photoionization absorption
is observed to influence the spectral line profiles. The recorded features of the x-ray emission spectra definitely indicate
the existence of a large relative number of excited ions (≃10−2–10−3) with energies of 0.1–1 MeV in such a plasma. Possible mechanisms underlying the acceleration of ions to high energies are
discussed. It is shown that the experimental results can be attributed to the influence of ponderomotive forces in standing
waves generated by the reflection of laser radiation from the clusters.

We report on the development of a field deployable compact laser instrument tunable over ∼232 cm−1 from 3.16 to 3.41 μm (2932.5–3164.5 cm−1) for chemical species monitoring at the ppb-level. The laser instrument is based on widely tunable continuous-wave difference-frequency
generation (DFG), pumped by two telecom-grade fiber lasers. DFG power of ∼0.3 mW near 3.3 μm with a spectral purity of ∼3.3
MHz was achieved by using moderate pumping powers: 408 mW at 1062 nm and 636 mW at 1570 nm. Spectroscopic performance of the
developed DFG-based instrument was evaluated with direct absorption spectra of ethylene at 3.23 μm (∼3094.31 cm−1). Absorption spectra of vapor-phase benzene near 3.28 μm (∼3043.82 cm−1) were recorded with Doppler-limited resolution. Line intensities of the most intense absorption lines of the ν
12 band near 3043.8 cm−1 were determined to support development of sensitive mid-infrared trace gas detection of benzene vapor in the atmosphere.
Detection of benzene vapor in air at different concentration levels has been performed for the first time using multi-pass
cell enhanced direct absorption spectroscopy at ∼3.28 μm with a minimum detectable concentration of 50 ppb (1σ). 相似文献

Results are presented from the first stage of studies on the passage of an electron beam with energy 100–500 eV in a magnetic
field of 300–700 Oe through the curvilinear solenoid of the KRéL unit, the latter being a prototype of the closing segment
of the Drakon stellarator system, in the plasma-beam discharge regime. The ion density at the end of the curvilinear part
of the chamber, n
i
≈8×108–1010 cm−3, the electron temperature T
e
≈4–15 eV, and the positions at which the beam hits the target for different distances from it to the electron source are determined
experimentally. The motion of the electron beam is computationally modeled with allowance for the space charge created by
the beam and the secondary plasma. From a comparison of the experimentally measured trajectories and trajectories calculated
for different values of the space charge, we have obtained an estimate for the unneutralized ion density of the order of 5×107 cm−3.

We have experimentally investigated the processes of laser light absorption and energy transfer in porous targets made of
“agar-agar” (C14H18O7) with an average density of 1–4 mg/cm3 illuminated by the focused beam of a neodymium laser with an intensity of 1014 W/cm2 within a pulse of duration 2.5 ns. Many important scientific and technical problems, e.g., inertial-confinement thermonuclear
fusion, the creation of lasers in the x-ray regime, and the modeling of astrophysical phenomena under laboratory conditions,
can be successfully addressed by using low-density porous media as components of such targets. In our experiments with porous
targets of variable density and thickness we used optical and x-ray diagnostic methods, which ensured that our measurements
were made with high temporal and spatial resolution. We show that a region forms within the porous target consisting of a
dense high-temperature plasma which effectively absorbs the laser radiation. Energy is transferred from the absorption region
to the surrounding layer of porous material at up to 2×107 cm/s. Experimental data are in good agreement with the predictions of our theoretical model, which takes into account the
specific features of absorption of laser radiation in a porous material and is based on representing the energy transfer within
the material as a hydrothermal wave.

The propagation of focused femtosecond laser pulses with supercritical peak powers in air has been investigated by the methods
of optical visualization, profilometry, and calorimetry. Laser pulses with supercritical powers create a bundle of submillimeter
filaments with a diameter of about 5 μm ahead of the lens focus; the maximum number of filaments in the beam cross section
and their length increase linearly and sublinearly, respectively, with the radiation peak power. The optical visualization
and calorimetry indicate that the plasma channels of filaments are optical contrast (a plasma density of 1018–1019 cm−3), ensuring the refraction of laser radiation incident on them. 相似文献

A fiber-amplified Distributed Bragg Reflector diode laser is used to pump a continuous wave, singly resonant Optical Parametric
Oscillator (OPO). The output radiation covers the 3–4 μm with ability of rapid (100 THz/s) and broad mode-hop-free tuning
(5 cm−1). Wavelength Modulation Spectroscopy is combined with the OPO to take optimal advantage of the spectral scan speed. The sensitivity
of the system was determined as 0.8 ppbv (parts-per-billion by volume) for ethane (C2H6) for the absorption peak at 2996.9 cm−1 recorded in 1.3 seconds, corresponding to a noise equivalent absorption sensitivity (NEAS) of 1.2×10−9 cm−1/Hz1/2. A comparison between results using the 1st, 2nd and 4th harmonic derivative signal from wavelength modulation was performed. The broad continuous tunability was demonstrated by
covering 35 cm−1 while recording absorption features of ethane, methane and water. 相似文献

A pulsed action of an electron beam on a Zr-1% Nb zirconium alloy is studied. Alloy samples are irradiated by three 50-μs
pulses at an energy density of 15–25 J/cm2, a power of (3–6) × 104 W/cm2, a current density of 10–50 A/cm2, and an electron energy of 18 keV. This method of processing is found to modify the surface layer of the alloy without changing
the structure-phase state of its volume. This surface modification increases the hydrogen saturation resistance of the alloy. 相似文献
