“…Nd 3+ is one of the most widely studied luminescent ions, and Nd 3+ doped crystal [4], glass [5] and ceramic [6] have been applied in many fields. Compared with other lanthanide ions, however, only a few works have been devoted to the research on Nd 3+ doped transparent oxyfluoride glass ceramics.…”

Studies of nonlinear processes of self-focusing of a laser beam in a plasma were performed using the PALS TW iodine laser system. The leading part of the 400 ps PALS laser pulse generated a plasma with which the main part of the pulse interacted. Changing a position of the optical focus with regard to the target surface, the interaction conditions were also significantly changed. Due to the self-focusing processes, high charge states and ion energies were recorded, which could not be obtained without the intervention of nonlinear processes. Laser intensities of the order of 10 19 W cm −2 in plasma were deduced from ion measurements for some conditions. A threshold intensity of 2 × 10 14 W cm −2 for nonlinear processes in plasma was confirmed.PACS: 52.38 Hb, 52.38 Kd

The great progress in high-peak-power laser technology has resulted recently in the production of ps and subps laser pulses of PW powers and relativistic intensities (up to 1021 W/cm2) and has laid the basis for the construction of multi-PW lasers generating ultrarelativistic laser intensities (above 1023 W/cm2). The laser pulses of such extreme parameters make it possible to produce highly collimated beams of electrons or ions of MeV to GeV energies, of short time durations (down to subps) and of enormous currents and current densities, unattainable with conventional accelerators. Such particle beams have a potential to be applied in numerous fields of scientific research as well as in medicine and technology development. This paper is focused on laser-driven generation of fast ion beams and reviews recent progress in this field. The basic concepts and achievements in the generation of intense beams of protons, light ions, and multiply charged heavy ions are presented. Prospects for applications of laser-driven ion beams are briefly discussed.
