Simulation of a chirped femtosecond relativistic laser pulse interaction with underdense plasma by using a hydrodynamic approach

A chirped laser pulse indicates that the laser frequency changes over the duration of the pulse: a positively (negatively) chirped pulse implies that the laser frequency increases (decreases) with time. In this paper, we use a simplified, fully relativistic hydrodynamic approach to simulate the influence of chirp on the propagation of a femtosecond relativistic laser pulse in underdense plasma. Based on this simplified cold‐fluid model, the influence of chirp on the main dynamics of the laser pulse, such as self‐steepening, red‐shift in the leading edge, variation of the frequency chirp, and the generated wakefields can be studied self‐consistently. The simulation results show that a pulse with a positive chirp results in a larger increment in the intensity parameter a₀ when propagating a certain distance into an underdense plasma compared with an un‐chirped and a negatively chirped pulse, which is largely because of a much greater forward shift of the peak amplitude and more severe pulse self‐steepening effect due to the frequency red‐shift at the leading edge when exciting a plasma wave. The ponderomotive force, which relates to the first‐order differential of the laser pulse intensity envelope, is expected to be stronger for a positively chirped pulse because of its steeper leading edge and larger intensity parameter a₀. As a result, the wakefield driven by the positively chirped laser pulse is more intense than that driven by an un‐chirped and a negatively chirped laser pulse, which is confirmed by our self‐consistent hydrodynamic simulation.     

Experimental research of pulsed chirp effect on the small-scale self-focusing

The chirped optical pulses undergoing self-focusing and splitting into multiple filamentation passing through a Kerr medium—carbon disulfide (CS₂) are studied experimentally and numerically. At the particular spatial position, modulation growth takes place from the experimental result. The process of modulation growth with different pulsed chirp is analyzed. It is found that with the pulsed chirp increasing (equal to the pulse width increasing), modulation growth of chirped optical pulses is delayed and the average input power also increases. The simulation results are in agreement with the experimental results.     

Excitation of a two-level system by a chirped laser pulse

The excitation of a two-level system by a chirped laser pulse is analyzed using an analytical approach (in the perturbation-theory limit) that involves the modified rotating-wave approximation and the numerical solution to the Bloch equation. The dependence of the population of the upper energy level on the chirp is studied for various radiation intensities and pulse durations. An exact solution is compared with the result obtained using the modified rotating-wave approximation and the perturbation theory. It is demonstrated that, for a certain range of parameters, the excitation probability of a two-level system can be effectively controlled via a variation in the chirp.

Energy scaling-up of stable single filament

The influence of the input pulse chirp and energy on the filamentation process is studied. Output beam profiles, spectra and energies were systematically measured by changing the pulse chirp for different input energies. A map of the different energy-chirp regions was compiled. It shows that high-energy stable single filament can be obtained by using chirped input pulses, allowing the scaling-up of the energy throughput in the filament. Moreover, under high-energy regimes nonlinear effects induced by chirped pulses could produce pulse post-compression.

Chirped and chirpfree soliton solutions of generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with distributed coefficients

Using the F-expansion method, we systematically present exact solutions of the generalized nonlinear nonlinear Schrödinger equation with varying intermodal dispersion and nonlinear gain or loss. This approach allows us to obtain large variety of solutions in terms of Jacobi-elliptical and Weierstrass-elliptical functions. The chirped and unchirped spatiotemporal soliton solutions and trigonometric-function solutions have been also obtained as limiting cases. The dynamics of these spatiotemporal soliton is discussed in context of optical fiber communication. To visualize the propagation characteristics of chirp and unchirped dark-bright soliton solutions, few numerical simulations are given. It is found that wave profile of solitons depend on the group velocity dispersion and the gain or loss functions.
