AbstractEnergy enhancement by a circularly polarized laser pulse during acceleration of the electrons by a Gaussian laser pulse has been investigated. The electrons close to the temporal peak of the laser pulse show strong initial phase dependence for a linearly polarized laser pulse. The energy gained by the electrons close to the rising edge of the pulse does not show initial phase dependence for either linearly- or circularly-polarized laser pulse. The maximum energy of the electrons gets enhanced for a circularly polarized in comparison to a linearly polarized laser pulse due to axial symmetry of the circularly polarized pulse. The variation of electron energy with laser spot size, laser intensity, initial electron energy, and initial phase has been studied.

AbstractIn this work, the expansion dynamics of liquid tin micro-droplets irradiated by femtosecond laser pulses were investigated. The effects of laser pulse duration, energy, and polarization on ablation, cavitation, and spallation dynamics were studied using laser pulse durations ranging from 220 fs to 10 ps, with energies ranging from 1 to 5 mJ, for micro-droplets with an initial radius of 15 and 23 $$\upmu$$ μ m. Using linearly polarized laser pulses, cylindrically asymmetric shock waves were produced, leading to novel non-symmetric target shapes, the asymmetry of which was studied as a function of laser pulse parameters and droplet size. A good qualitative agreement was obtained between smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations and high-resolution stroboscopic experimental data of the droplet deformation dynamics.

AbstractSelf-trapping, stopping, and absorption of an ultrashort ultraintense linearly polarized laser pulse in a finite plasma slab of near-critical density is investigated by particle-in-cell simulation. As in the underdense plasma, an electron cavity is created by the pressure of the transmitted part of the light pulse and it traps the latter. Since the background plasma is at near-critical density, no wake plasma oscillation is created. The propagating self-trapped light rapidly comes to a stop inside the slab. Subsequent ion Coulomb explosion of the stopped cavity leads to explosive expulsion of its ions and formation of an extended channel having extremely low plasma density. The energetic Coulomb-exploded ions form shock layers of high density and temperature at the channel boundary. In contrast to a propagating pulse in a lower density plasma, here the energy of the trapped light is deposited onto a stationary and highly localized region of the plasma. This highly localized energy-deposition process can be relevant to the fast ignition scheme of inertial fusion.
