17. Optimization of laser pulse duration using SPIDER and DAZZLER feedback loop

Davorin Peceli (ELI BL)

24.01.22, 18:35

We present a procedure for optimization of a laser pulse duration to the shortest possible value using a feedback control loop between the FC SPIDER from APE and DAZZLER from Fastlite. New SPIDER software was developed in collaboration with APE. It was integrated into the laser control system and it enables real-time measurement running on real-time hardware with pulse reconstruction time of...

18. Optimisation of laser-driven ion acceleration at high repetition rate

As high-intensity ultra-short PW-class laser systems, operating at high repetition rates, become a reality, laser-driven ion sources will become more suited for a variety of their potential applications. For many applications, shot-to-shot reproducibility and tuning of the beam parameters for a desirable proton source is crucial. The laser-driven ion beam depends on both laser and target...

27. Data-driven modelling of laser-plasma experiments enabled by large datasets

Andre Antoine (University of Michigan)

Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) is a process by which high gradient plasma waves are excited by a laser leading to the acceleration of electrons. The process is highly nonlinear leading to difficulties in developing 3 dimensional models for a priori, and/or ab initio prediction.
Recent experiments at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory’s (RAL) Central Laser Facility (CLF) in the United...
