Abstract Targets with microstructured front surfaces have shown great potential in improving high-intensity laser–matter interaction. We present cone-shaped microstructures made out of silicon and titanium created by ultrashort laser pulse processing with different characteristics. In addition, we illustrate a process chain based on moulding to recreate the laser-processed samples out of polydimethylsiloxane, polystyrol and copper. With all described methods, samples of large sizes can be manufactured, therefore allowing time-efficient, cost-reduced and reliable ways to fabricate large quantities of identical targets.

AbstractFor high-energy gain of electron acceleration by a laser wakefield, a stable or guiding propagation of an ultrashort, high-intensity laser pulse in a gas-target plasma is of fundamental importance. Preliminary experiments were carried out for the propagation of 30-fs, ~100-TW laser pulses of intensities ~1019W/cm2 in plasma of densities ~1019/cm3. Self-guiding length of nearly 1.4 mm was observed in a gas jet and 15 mm in a hydrogen-filled capillary. Fluid-dynamics simulations are used to characterize the two types of gas targets. Particle-in-cell simulations indicate that in the plasma, after the pulse's evolution of self-focusing and over-focusing, the high-intensity pulse could be stably guided with a beam radius close to the plasma wavelength. At lower plasma densities, a preformed plasma channel of a parabolic density profile matched to the laser spot size would be efficient for guiding the pulse.
