10−3 relative accuracy, 20 times more precise than presently known.
An important prerequisite to this experiment is the availability of long-lived μp2S
-atoms. A 2S-lifetime of ∼1 μs – sufficiently long to perform the laser experiment – at H2 gas pressures of 1–2 hPa was deduced from recent measurements of the collisional 2S-quenching rate. A new low-energy negative muon beam yields an order of magnitude more muon stops in a small low-density gas
volume than a conventional cloud muon beam. A stack of ultra-thin carbon foils is the key element of a fast detector for keV-muons.
The development of a 2 keV X-ray detector and a 3-stage laser system providing 0.5 mJ laser pulses at 6 μm is on the way.

Using three-dimensional test particle simulations, we investigated electrons accelerated by a focused flat-top laser beam
at different intensities and flatness levels of the beam profile before focusing in vacuum. The results show that the presence
of sidelobes around the main focal spot of the focused flat-top laser beam influences the optimum (as far as electron acceleration
is concerned) initial momentum (and incident angle) of electrons for acceleration. The difference of initial conditions between
laser beams with and without sidelobes becomes evident when the laser field is strong enough (a0>10, corresponding to intensities I>1×1020 W/cm2 for the laser wavelength λ=1 μm, where a0 is a dimensionless parameter measuring laser intensity). The difference becomes more pronounced at increasing a0. Because of the presence of sidelobes, there exist three typical CAS (capture and acceleration scenario) channels when a0≥30 (corresponding to I>1×1021 W/cm2 for λ=1 μm). The energy spread of the outgoing electrons is also discussed in detail.

The interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with solid state targets is studied concerning the production of short X-ray pulses
with photon energies up to about 10 keV. The influence of various parameters such as pulse energy, repetition rate of the
laser system, focusing conditions, the application of prepulses, and the chirp of the laser pulses on the efficiency of this
highly nonlinear process is examined. In order to increase the X-ray flux, the laser pulse energy is increased by a 2nd multipass
amplifier from 750 μJ to 5 mJ. By applying up to 4 mJ of the pulse energy a X-ray flux of 4×1010 Fe K
α
photons/s or 2.75×1010 Cu K
α
photons/s are generated. The energy conversion efficiency is therefore calculated to η
Fe≈1.4×10−5 and η
Cu≈1.0×10−5. The X-ray source size is determined to 15×25 μm2. By focusing the produced X-rays using a toroidally bent crystal a quasi-monochromatic X-ray point source with a diameter
of 56 μm×70μm is produced containing ≈104 Fe K
α1 photons/s which permits the investigation of lattice dynamics on a picosecond or even sub-picosecond time scale. The lattice
movement of a GaAs(111) crystal is shown as a typical application. 相似文献

on the 4

I
11/2 transition into the third Stokes component at a wavelength of 1.5 μm are studied. The energy in the third Stokes component
is found to increase essentially linearly with the electrical energy delivered to the flashlamp. Lasing at the third Stokes
component begins in the central portion of the Nd:KGW crystal and then propagates to its boundaries. Reducing the geometric
aperture of the multimode pump beam in the Raman crystal lowers the divergence of the Stokes emission. For a source pump energy
of 6 J, the intracavity Raman laser emits 14.7 mJ pulses of duration 3–4 nsec which are safe to the eyes. The divergence of
the Raman laser beam at a level of 86% of the total energy is ≈ 9 mrad. 相似文献

The paper presents results of experiments performed on the Pico facility in which foils were heated by laser radiation, and
anomalously fast burn-through of foils by a structured laser beam was detected. Comparison with two-dimensional calculations
has allowed us to suggest a tentative mechanism for the effect under investigation. The targets in the experiments were thin
aluminum foils of thickness 3 to 40 μm. The flux density of laser radiation on the target surface varied between 1013 and 1014 W/cm2. We detected a strong dependence of the transmitted energy on the foil thickness and the shortening of the transmitted laser
pulse. Penetration of laser radiation through foils with thicknesses considerably larger than 3 μm has been observed, although it was stated in earlier publications [V. V. Ivanov, A. K. Knyazev, A. V. Kutsenko, et al., Kratk. Soobshch. Fiz. FIAN No. 7–8, 37 (1997)]; A. é. Bugrov, I. N. Burdonskii, V. V. Gol’tsov et al., Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 111, 903 (1997) [JETP 84, 903 (1997)] that, at the laser radiation parameters used in our experiment, the evaporated layer of the foil could not be
thicker than 2 μm. Two-dimensional calculations have allowed us to interpret this effect in terms of local “piercing” of the target at spots
on the target surface where the radiation intensity has its peaks. The possibility of reducing these peaks by using a symmetrizing
prepulse is discussed in the paper.

An analytical model of K
α radiation of thin laser targets has been developed. It has been shown that, for such targets, the motion of fast electrons
is significant not only in the target itself but also in vacuum. The considered dependences for the free path length of a
fast electron and for the absorption coefficient of laser radiation on the laser intensity with allowance for the electron
motion in vacuum make it possible to match the results of the proposed model with the experimental data on generation of K
α radiation in wide ranges of laser intensities (1018–1021 W/cm2) and thicknesses (1–100 μm) of targets. 相似文献

Wave-guided thin-film distributed-feedback (DFB) polymer lasers are fabricated by spin coating a PPV-derived semiconducting
polymer, thianthrene-DOO-PPV, onto oxidised silicon wafers with corrugated second-order periodic gratings. The gratings are
written by reactive ion beam etching. Laser action is achieved by transverse pumping with picosecond laser pulses (wavelength
347.15 nm, duration 35 ps). The DFB-laser surface emission and edge emission are analysed. Outside the grating region the
polymer film is used for comparative wave-guided travelling wave laser (amplified spontaneous emission (ASE)) studies. The
pump pulse threshold energy density for wave-guided DFB-laser action (4–9 μJ cm-2) is found to be approximately a factor of two lower than the threshold for wave-guided travelling wave laser action. The
spectral width of the DFB laser (down to ΔλDFB≈0.07 nm) is considerably narrower than that of the travelling wave laser (ΔλTWL≈14 nm). The DFB-laser emission is highly linearly polarised transverse to the grating axis (TE mode). Only at high pump pulse
energy densities does an additional weak TM mode build up. The surface-emitted DFB-laser radiation has a low divergence along
the grating direction. For both the DFB lasers and the travelling wave lasers, gain saturation occurs at high excitation energy
densities.

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.

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

≈8×108–1010 cm−3, the electron temperature T

≈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.

Peculiarities of the self-focusing and filamentation of high-power femtosecond laser pulses in air have been experimentally
and theoretically studied under conditions of broad variation of the beam focusing parameter. The influence of the numerical
aperture (NA) of the initial radiation focusing on the main characteristics of laser-induced plasma columns (characteristic transverse
size, length, and concentration of free electrons) is considered. It is established that, for a rigid (NA > 0.05) initial laser beam focusing, the transverse size of the plasma channel ceases to decrease at a level of R
pl ≈ 2–4 μm as a result of strong refraction of radiation on the plasma formed at the focal waist, which prevents further contraction
of the laser beam due to its focusing and self-focusing. 相似文献

The generation of laser-driven dense relativistic
electron layers from ultra-thin foils and their use for
coherent Thomson backscattering is discussed, applying analytic
theory and one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation. The blow-out
regime is explored in which all foil electrons are separated from
ions by direct laser action. The electrons follow the light wave
close to its leading front. Single electron solutions are applied to
initial acceleration, phase switching, and second-stage boosting.
Coherently reflected light shows Doppler-shifted spectra, chirped
over several octaves. The Doppler shift is found ∝ γx
2=1/(1-βx
2), where βx is the electron
velocity component in normal direction of the electron layer which
is also the direction of the driving laser pulse. Due to transverse
electron momentum py, the Doppler shift by
4γx
2=4γ2/(1+(py/mc)2)≈2γ
is significantly smaller than full shift of 4γ2.
Methods to turn py→0 and to recover the
full Doppler shift are proposed and verified by 1D-PIC simulation.
These methods open new ways to design intense single attosecond pulses. 相似文献

The spatial dependence of K
α emission generated from laser-produced hot electrons is investigated experimentally and theoretically. In addition, the conversion
efficiency of K
α production as a function of laser intensity is measured and compared with modeling results. We use the terawatt Ti:sapphire
laser at MPQ and vary the peak intensity from 1015 to 1018 W/cm2 with a pulse duration of 200 fs. A solid Cu target is placed at various positions in the laser focus, which allows one to
vary the intensity but keep the total energy on the target constant. When the target is near best focus, the FWHM of the K
α emission, measured using a knife-edge, is considerably larger than the FWHM of the laser intensity. In measuring the efficiency
of K
α production using the fundamental wavelength of the laser, a clear maximum of K
α emission is observed at a position away from best focus, where the peak intensity is down by more than an order of magnitude
from the value at best focus. When the second harmonic of the laser is used, the K
α emission is peaked near best focus. The K
α emission from layer targets is used to obtain an estimate of the temperature of the hot electrons. Modeling of K
α production, using a Monte Carlo electron/photon transport code, shows the relationship between incident electron energy and
the emitted K
α emission. Efficient K
α generation from the low-intensity wings of the laser pulse contributes to the large spot size of the K
α emission. The lower electron temperatures that are expected for the second harmonic explain the differences in the location
of maximum K
α emission for the two wavelengths. We discuss the use of K
α emission in photoionizing inner-shell electrons with the goal of achieving X-ray lasing at short wavelengths.

Presently, large efforts are conducted toward the development of highly brilliant γ beams via Compton back scattering of photons from a high-brilliance electron beam, either on the basis of a normal-conducting
electron linac or a (super-conducting) Energy Recovery Linac (ERL). Particularly, ERLs provide an extremely brilliant electron
beam, thus enabling the generation of highest-quality γ beams. A 2.5 MeV γ beam with an envisaged intensity of 1015 photons s−1, as ultimately envisaged for an ERL-based γ-beam facility, narrow band width (10−3), and extremely low emittance (10−4 mm2 mrad2) offers the possibility to produce a high-intensity bright polarized positron beam. Pair production in a face-on irradiated
W converter foil (200 μm thick, 10 mm long) would lead to the emission of 2×1013 (fast) positrons per second, which is four orders of magnitude higher compared to strong radioactive 22Na sources conventionally used in the laboratory. Using a stack of converter foils and subsequent positron moderation, a high-intensity
low-energy beam of moderated positrons can be produced. Two different source setups are presented: a high-brightness positron
beam with a diameter as low as 0.2 mm, and a high-intensity beam of 3×1011 moderated positrons per second. Hence, profiting from an improved moderation efficiency, the envisaged positron intensity
would exceed that of present high-intensity positron sources by a factor of 100. 相似文献

The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra for each beige and brown sepiolites from Polatli-Ankara, Turkey, a clay mineral of Mg8Si12O30(OH)4(OH2)4(H2O)8, at 77 K have their own single characteristic peak atg ≈ 1.99, which begins to anneal from 437 and 536°C, respectively. The sextet lines of Mn2+ were also observed in addition to two peaks (g = 4.4 and 5.0) associated with Fe3+. A high-quality sepiolite called “meerschaum” from Sepetci-Eskisehir, Turkey, has two characteristic peaks atg ≈ 1.99, which begins to anneal from 419°C, and atg ≈ 2.03. ESR intensities of the signal atg ≈ 1.99 for beige, brown sepiolites and meerschaum are enhanced by γ-ray irradiation to give equivalent dosesD E = 11.8 ± 3.4, 4.7 ± 2.3 and 4.6 ± 1.2 kGy, respectively. The ESR ages obtained by assessing the annual dose rate from the content of238U,232Th and40K determined by γ-ray spectroscopy are 1.8 ± 0.8, 0.7 ± 0.5 and 0.9 ± 0.2 Ma, respectively, falling into the Pliocene Epoch in geological time scale in agreement with the stratigraphy. 相似文献

is made of 45-μm-thick AlBe foil. Behind the anode, an electron beam is detected at a helium pressure of 12 atm. The pressure
dependence of the beam current amplitude shows three peaks at p ≈ 0.01, ≈ 0.07, and ≈ 3 atm. The beam-induced glow of a luminescent film placed behind the foil and the discharge glow at
different helium pressures in the gas-filled diode are photographed. 相似文献

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in germane (GeH4), initially at room temperature and pressures ranging from 2 to 10 kPa, was studied using a high-power transverse excitation
atmospheric (TEA) CO2 laser (λ=10.653 μm, τ
FWHM=64 ns and power densities ranging from 0.28 to 5.52 GW cm−2). The strong emission spectrum of the generated plasma is mainly due to electronic relaxation of excited Ge, H and ionic
fragments Ge+, Ge2+ and Ge3+. The weak emission is due to molecular bands of H2. Excitation temperatures of 8100±300 K and 23,500±2500 K were estimated by Ge atomic and Ge+ singly ionized lines, respectively. Electron number densities of the order of (0.7–6.2)×1017 cm−3 were deduced from the Stark broadening of several atomic Ge lines. The characteristics of the spectral emission intensities
from different species have been investigated as functions of the germane pressure and laser irradiance. Optical breakdown
threshold intensities in germane at 10.653 μm have been determined. The mechanism of initiation of the laser-induced plasma
in germane has been analyzed. 相似文献

50-nm thick amorphous silicon films formed on glass substrates were crystallized by rapid Joule heating induced by an electrical
current flowing in 100-nm-thick Cr strips formed adjacently to 200-nm-thick SiO2 intermediate layers. 3-μs-pulsed voltages were applied to the Cr strips. Melting of the Cr strips caused a high Joule heating
intensity of about 1×106 W/cm2. Raman scattering measurements revealed complete crystallization of the silicon films at a Joule heating energy of 1.9 J/cm2 via the SiO2 intermediate layer. Transmission electron microscopy measurements confirmed a crystalline grain size of 50–100 nm. 1-μm-long
crystalline grain growth was also observed just beneath the edge of the Cr strips. The electrical conductivity increased from
10-5 S/cm to 0.3 S/cm for 7×1017-cm-3-phosphorus-doped silicon films because of activation of the phosphorus atoms because of crystallization. The numerical analysis
showed a density of localized defect states at the mid gap of 8.0×1017 cm-3. Oxygen plasma treatment at 250 °C and 100 W for 5 min reduced the density of the defect states to 2.7×1017 cm-3.

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (STBS) and phase conjugation of CO2 laser radiation have been demonstrated experimentally for the first time in compressed xenon (59 atm at 21°C) located inside
the low-Q cavity of this laser. The nonlinear medium was exposed to the action of counterpropagating focused multimode radiation
beams. The difference between the frequencies of the longitudinal cavity modes was set at the frequency of the acoustic wave
(v
s=32.2±0.3 MHz) excited as a result of STBS by 9.584 μm radiation. The duration of the radiation pulse τ
L was close to the acoustic phonon lifetime (τ
L<τ
ph≈3× 10−6s). The excitation of STBS was manifested experimentally as the locking of longitudinal modes, an increase in power and energy,
and also an increase in the duration of the lasing pulse and a reduction in the divergence to the diffraction limit.
