The use of ultra-high intensity laser beams to achieve extreme material states in the laboratory has become almost routine with the development of the petawatt laser. Petawatt class lasers have been constructed for specific research activities, including particle acceleration, inertial confinement fusion and radiation therapy, and for secondary source generation (x-rays, electrons, protons, neutrons and ions). They are also now routinely coupled, and synchronized, to other large scale facilities including megajoule scale lasers, ion and electron accelerators, x-ray sources and z-pinches. The authors of this paper have tried to compile a comprehensive overview of the current status of petawatt class lasers worldwide. The definition of 'petawatt class' in this context is a laser that delivers >200 TW.

“…The x-ray energy can also be extended to harder spectral range by increasing the strength parameter K of the plasma wiggler. In the near future, the anticipated higher laser energy [24] as well as the more energetic electrons will improve the capabilities of the source.…”

Production of a keV X-Ray Beam from Synchrotron Radiation in Relativistic Laser-Plasma Interaction

et al. 2004

International audienceWe 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

“…The laser wavelength now extends from short, i.e., deep ultraviolet or X-ray, to long, i.e., the middle-infrared or terahertz range [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], the pulse duration has been compressed to subcycle femtoseconds [8,9], and the peak power can reach petawatt (PW) level [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. These kinds of femtosecond laser pulses are widely used in research in physics, materials science, chemistry, biology, and bioengineering.…”

Self-Referenced Spectral Interferometry for Femtosecond Pulse Characterization

et al. 2017

Abstract:Since its introduction in 2010, self-referenced spectral interferometry (SRSI) has turned out to be an analytical, sensitive, accurate, and fast method for characterizing the temporal profile of femtosecond pulses. We review the underlying principle and the recent progress in the field of SRSI. We present our experimental work on this method, including the development of self-diffraction (SD) effect-based SRSI (SD-SRSI) and transient-grating (TG) effect-based SRSI (TG-SRSI). Three experiments based on TG-SRSI were performed: (1) We built a simple TG-SRSI device and used it to characterize a sub-10 fs pulse with a center wavelength of 1.8 µm. (2) On the basis of the TG effect, we successfully combined SRSI and frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) into a single device. The device has a broad range of application, because it has the advantages of both SRSI and FROG methods. (3) Weak sub-nanojoule pulses from an oscillator were successfully characterized using the TG-SRSI device, the optical setup of which is smaller than the palm of a hand, making it convenient for use in many applications, including sensor monitoring the pulse profile of laser systems. In addition, the SRSI method was extended for single-shot characterization of the temporal contrast of ultraintense and ultrashort laser pulses.
