在低密等离子体通道中, 横向有质动力可以有效调制电子的横向振荡过程. 一方面, 横向有质动力可以向外推动电子, 增大电子横向振荡振幅, 减小失相率, 使电子获得能量增益; 另一方面, 横向有质动力也可以通过对失相率的非线性调制来降低失相率, 在电子横向振荡振幅很小的情况下导致激光直接加速. 横向有质动力调制的大小由等离子体密度、激光强度和束宽共同决定. 三维模型结果也证实可以通过参数放大实现激光直接加速, 弥补了准二维模型的局限性. 相似文献

The energy and trajectory of the electron, which is irradiated by a high-power laser pulse in a cylindrical plasma channel with a uniform positive charge and a uniform negative current, have been analyzed in terms of a single-electron model of direct laser acceleration. We find that the energy and trajectory of the electron strongly depend on the positive charge density, the negative current density, and the intensity of the laser pulse. The electron can be accelerated significantly only when the positive charge density, the negative current density, and the intensity of the laser pulse are in suitable ranges due to the dephasing rate between the wave and electron motion. Particularly, when their values satisfy a critical condition,the electron can stay in phase with the laser and gain the largest energy from the laser. With the enhancement of the electron energy, strong modulations of the relativistic factor cause a considerable enhancement of the electron transverse oscillations across the channel, which makes the electron trajectory become essentially three-dimensional, even if it is flat at the early stage of the acceleration. 相似文献

The dynamics of plasma electrons in the focus of a petawatt laser beam are studied via measurements of their x-ray synchrotron radiation. With increasing laser intensity, a forward directed beam of x rays extending to 50 keV is observed. The measured x rays are well described in the synchrotron asymptotic limit of electrons oscillating in a plasma channel. The critical energy of the measured synchrotron spectrum is found to scale as the Maxwellian temperature of the simultaneously measured electron spectra. At low laser intensity transverse oscillations are negligible as the electrons are predominantly accelerated axially by the laser generated wakefield. At high laser intensity, electrons are directly accelerated by the laser and enter a highly radiative regime with up to 5% of their energy converted into x rays. 相似文献

An intense relativistic electron beam may be transported in low-pressure gas using an ion channel which focuses and guides the beam. The beam can be unstable to the growth of transverse oscillations caused by the electric force between the beam and channel-the ion hose instability. Beam propagation on channels created by photoionization of gas with an excimer laser is discussed. Ion hose oscillations have been recorded which have a betatron wavelength of approximately 1.5 m. The growth rate of the ion hose instability in the linear regime was measured as 1.67±0.45. At this level of growth, the amplitude of beam oscillations equals the channel radius after a period of one-third of an ion oscillation time 相似文献

We demonstrate that a beam of x-ray radiation can be generated by simply focusing a single high-intensity laser pulse into a gas jet. A millimeter-scale laser-produced plasma creates, accelerates, and wiggles an ultrashort and relativistic electron bunch. As they propagate in the ion channel produced in the wake of the laser pulse, the accelerated electrons undergo betatron oscillations, generating a femtosecond pulse of synchrotron radiation, which has keV energy and lies within a narrow (50 mrad) cone angle. 相似文献

In this paper, a radially polarised cosh-Gaussian laser beam(CGLB) is used to study the electron acceleration produced in vacuum. A highly energetic electron beam can be achieved by a CGLB,even with comparatively low-powered lasers. The properties of a CGLB cause it to focus earlier,over a shorter duration than a Gaussian laser beam, which makes it suitable for obtaining high energies over small durations. It is found that the energy gained by the electrons strongly depends upon the decentering parameter of the laser profile. It is also observed that for a fixed value of energy gain, if the decentering parameter is increased, then the intensity of the laser field decreases. The dependence of the energy gained by electrons on the laser intensity and the laserspot size is also studied. 相似文献

We present a new mechanism of energy gain of electrons accelerated by a laser pulse.It is shown thatwhen the intensity of an ultrafast intense laser pulse decreases rapidly along the direction of propagation,electrons leaving the pulse experience an action of ponderomotivc deceleration at the descending part ofa lower-intensity laser field than acceleration at the ascending part of a high-intensity field, thus gain netenergy from the pulse and move directly forward. By means of such a mechanism, a megaelectronvoltelectron beam with a bunch length shorter than 100 fs could be realized with an ultrafast(≤30 fs),intense (>10~(19)W/cm~2)laser pulse. 相似文献

The limits put by optical guiding, and channel guiding mechanisms on the Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) technique are
imposed on the Resonant Laser Wakefield Acceleration (RLWFA) scheme. Energy gained by the electrons in both schemes are calculated
and compared. It has presented that in the RLWFA case, the electrons gain more and more energy after each traversal of the
laser pulse and the electrons in a plasma gain about 3 GeV after 10 passages of the laser pulse. They gain 13 GeV when the
laser light makes 50 passages and 26 GeV after the laser beam traverses the plasma 100 times. Moreover, the channel guiding
mechanism is integrated to the RLWFA scheme and together with diffraction guiding a model for electron acceleration is proposed.

Using numerical simulation, we have studied in detail vacuum electron acceleration induced by an Airy beam. The phase of the field varies slowly, and the intensity of the field is independent of the decaying parameter of the beam in the asymmetric field channel [(AFC) Opt. Express 18, 7300 (2010)] formed by the Airy beam. Results show that an electron entering into the AFC may be captured and gain high energy. Meanwhile, the decaying parameter, injection energy, and injection angle of the electron play important roles in the electron energy gain. 相似文献

The morphological evolution of the unit cell by unit cell layer growth of thin films by laser molecular beam epitaxy (laser MBE) is simulated by the Monte Carlo (MC) method. As a more realistic simulation, the effect of the surface terrace on reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) intensity oscillations is considered in our model. The calculation shows that the surface terrace effect has an obvious influence on the intensity oscillation shapes. Moreover, we consider the growth units impinging on the surface batch by batch rather than one by one. It is found that the surface morphologies are different, with different numbers of units impinging by a laser pulse on the surface. Furthermore, the surface roughness increases with a decrease in substrate temperature and with an increase in the unit impinging rate (which is determined by the energy of each laser pulse). The validity of the growth model is demonstrated by comparing our MC-simulated RHEED intensity oscillations with those observed in laser MBE experiments. 相似文献

The amplification mechanism of the ion-channel laser (ICL) in the low-gain regime is studied. In this concept, a relativistic electron beam is injected into a plasma whose density is comparable to or lower than the beam's density. The head of the electron beam pushes out the plasma electrons, leaving an ion channel. The ion-focusing force causes the electrons to oscillate (betatron oscillations) about the axis and plays a role similar to the magnetic field in a cyclotron autoresonance maser (CARM). Radiation can be produced with wave frequencies from microwaves to X-rays depending on the beam energy and plasma density: ω~2γ3/2ωpe, where γ is the Lorentz factor of the beam and ωpe is the plasma frequency. Transverse (relativistic) bunching and axial (conventional) bunching are the amplification mechanisms in ICLs; only the latter effect operates in free-electron lasers. The competition of these two bunching mechanisms depends on beam velocity ν0z; their dependences on ν0z cancel for the cyclotron autoresonance masers. A linear theory is developed to study the physical mechanisms, and a PIC (particle-in-cell) simulation code is used to verify the theory. The mechanism is examined as a possible explanation for experimentally observed millimeter radiation from relativistic electron beams interacting with plasmas 相似文献

A theory that describes how to load negative charge into a nonlinear, three-dimensional plasma wakefield is presented. In this regime, a laser or an electron beam blows out the plasma electrons and creates a nearly spherical ion channel, which is modified by the presence of the beam load. Analytical solutions for the fields and the shape of the ion channel are derived. It is shown that very high beam-loading efficiency can be achieved, while the energy spread of the bunch is conserved. The theoretical results are verified with the particle-in-cell code OSIRIS. 相似文献

Laser ion-acceleration scaling laws seen in multiparametric particle-in-cell simulations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The ion acceleration driven by a laser pulse at intensity I= 10(20)-10(22) W/cm(2) x (microm/lambda)(2) from a double layer target is investigated with multiparametric particle-in-cell simulations. For targets with a wide range of thickness l and density n(e), at a given intensity, the highest ion energy gain occurs at certain electron areal density of the target sigma = n(e)l, which is proportional to the square root of intensity. In the case of thin targets and optimal laser pulse duration, the ion maximum energy scales as the square root of the laser pulse power. When the radiation pressure of the laser field becomes dominant, the ion maximum energy becomes proportional to the laser pulse energy. 相似文献

With the development of photocathode rf electron gun, electrons
with high-brightness and mono-energy can be obtained easily. By
numerically solving the relativistic equations of motion of an
electron generated from this facility in laser fields modelled by
a circular polarized Gaussian laser pulse, we find the electron
can obtain high energy gain from the laser pulse. The corresponding acceleration distance for this electron driven by the ascending part of the laser pulse is much longer than the
Rayleigh length, and the light amplitude experienced on the
electron is very weak when the laser pulse overtakes the electron.
The electron is accelerated effectively and the deceleration can
be neglected. For intensities around 1019 W•μm2/cm2, an
electron's energy gain near 0.1 GeV can be realized when its
initial energy is 4.5 MeV, and the final velocity of the energetic
electron is parallel with the propagation axis. The energy gain
can be up to 1 GeV if the intensity is about 1021 W•μm2/cm2. The final energy gain of the electron as a function of its initial conditions and the parameters of the laser beam has
also been discussed. 相似文献

A theory for ion acceleration by ultrashort laser pulses is presented to evaluate the maximum ion energy in the interaction
of ultrahigh contrast (UHC) intense laser pulses with a nanometer-scale foil. In this regime, the ion energy may be directly
related to the laser intensity and subsequent electron dynamics. This leads to a simple analytical expression for the ion
energy gain under the laser irradiation of thin targets. Significantly higher energies for thin targets than for thicker targets
are predicted. The theory is concretized with a view to compare with the results and their details of recent experiments. 相似文献

A hydrodynamic approximation is used to study the behavior of dipole modes of the transverse oscillations of an ion beam in a storage ring with an electron cooling section. It is shown that in addition to the finite interaction time of the beams, instability may be caused by a specific interaction effect between the ion and electron beams in the magnetic field which leads to redistribution of energy between the various modes of the ion beam oscillations. In this case, the condition that the determinant of the transfer matrix for the cooling section does not exceed unity no longer guarantees the stability of the transverse coherent oscillations of the ion beam and all the eigenvalues of the complete matrix of the ion motion including the storage ring must be analyzed. Calculations of the stability of ion beam dipole oscillations are presented for the parameters of CELSIUS. 相似文献

Behaviour of a relativistic electron bunch, injected and trapped in a high intensity
optical lattice resulting from the interference of two laser beams is studied. The optical
lattice modifies the phase space distribution of the electron bunch due to the trapping
and compression of the electrons by a ponderomotive force. High-frequency longitudinal
beam eigenmodes of the trapped electron bunch are described in the framework of fluid and
kinetic models. Such beam oscillations are expected to play a pivotal role in a stimulated
Raman scattering of laser beams on the electrons. 相似文献

We use a femtowatt focused laser beam to locate and manipulate a single quantum tunneling channel associated with an individual InAs quantum dot within an ensemble of dots. The intensity of the directed laser beam tunes the tunneling current through the targeted dot with an effective optical gain of 10(7) and modifies the curvature of the dot's confining potential and the spatial extent of its ground state electron eigenfunction. These observations are explained by the effect of photocreated hole charges which become bound close to the targeted dot, thus acting as an optically induced gate electrode. 相似文献

激光氦离子源产生的MeV能量的氦离子因有望用于聚变反应堆材料辐照损伤的模拟研究而得到关注.目前激光驱动氦离子源的主要方案是采用相对论激光与氦气射流作用加速高能氦离子,但这种方案在实验上难以产生具有前向性和准单能性、数MeV能量、高产额的氦离子束,而这些氦离子束特性是材料辐照损伤研究中十分关注的.不同于上述激光氦离子产生方法,我们提出了一种利用超强激光与固体-气体复合靶作用产生氦离子的新方法.利用这种方法,在实验上,采用功率密度5×10~(18)W/cm~2的皮秒脉宽的激光脉冲与铜-氦气复合靶作用,产生了前向发射的2.7 MeV的准单能氦离子束,能量超过0.5 MeV的氦离子产额约为10~(13)/sr.二维粒子模拟显示,氦离子在靶背鞘场加速和类无碰撞冲击波加速两种加速机理共同作用下得到加速.同时粒子模拟还显示氦离子截止能量与超热电子温度成正比. 相似文献
