    Collective Absorption Dynamics and Enhancement in Deformed Targets

    Full text link
    The interaction of intense fs laser pulses with thin foils that have an imposed deformation is compared with thick targets that develop bow shocks. Both target types yield good absorption. Up to 80% absorption is obtained for a 0.2μm0.2\mu m thick, 15 times over-dense foil at 41018W/cm24 \cdot 10^{18} W/cm^2. A value of 50% is obtained for a 4μm4 \mu m thick, 2 times over-dense thick target at 1018W/cm210^{18} W/cm^2. For comparable extension and curvature of the laser-plasma interfaces absorption levels in both targets become similar. In both absorption scales weakly with intensity and density. Energy transport in thin foils and thick targets, however, is different.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, Fig. 5 has been replace

    Dielectric Screening In The Thomas-Fermi Model

    In this paper, we investigate the dielectric screening process in the Thomas-Fermi model with several variations such as the thermal effects, relativistic effects, motion of the test charge, and the effect of a very strong magnetic field. Comparisons are made with the corresponding results in a classical plasma. Some apparently anomalous results are pointed out and explained

    Electron correlation versus stabilization of atoms in intense laser pulses

    Get PDF
    We present a numerical study of the stabilization process for a fully correlated two-electron model atom in an intense laser pulse. A comparison with calculations for a "real" 3D He atom is also done. We concentrate on the very high frequency regime, where the photon energy exceeds the ionization energy of both electrons, outer and inner. Our results show that when correlation effects are included the ionization probability (IP) is enhanced. Nevertheless, we still observe a decreasing IP within a certain intensity domain. The results from the fully correlated simulations are compared with those from simpler, approximate models. The full numerical treatment for the He atom is not yet possible. We therefore present results obtained with "single active electron" approximation and time-dependent density functional theory. Our numerical simulations can be useful for the future understanding of the stabilization phenomenon for more-than-one electron atoms

    Collisionless absorption, hot electron generation, and energy scaling in intense laser-target interaction

    Full text link
    Among the various attempts to understand collisionless absorption of intense ultrashort laser pulses a variety of models has been invented to describe the laser beam target interaction. In terms of basic physics collisionless absorption is understood now as the interplay of the oscillating laser field with the space charge field produced in the plasma. A first approach to this idea is realized in Brunel's model the essence of which consists in the formation of an oscillating charge cloud in the vacuum in front of the target. The investigation of statistical ensembles of orbits shows that the absorption process is localized at the ion-vacuum interface and in the skin layer: Single electrons enter into resonance with the laser field thereby undergoing a phase shift which causes orbit crossing and braking of Brunel's laminar flow. This anharmonic resonance acts like an attractor for the electrons and leads to the formation of a Maxwellian tail in the electron energy spectrum. Most remarkable results of our investigations are the Brunel-like hot electron distribution at the relativistic threshold; the minimum of absorption at Iλ2(0.31.2)×1021I\lambda^2 \cong (0.3-1.2)\times 10^{21} W/cm2μ^2\mum2^2, in the plasma target with the electron density of neλ21023n_e \lambda^2\sim 10^{23}cm3μ^{-3}\mum2;^2; the drastic reduction of the number of hot electrons in this domain and their reappearance in the highly relativistic domain; strong coupling of the fast electron jets with the return current through Cherenkov emission of plasmons. The hot electron energy scaling shows a strong dependence on intensity in the moderately relativistic domain Iλ2(10181020)I\lambda^2 \cong (10^{18} - 10^{20}) W/cm2μ^2\mum2^2, a scaling in vague accordance with current published estimates in the range Iλ2(0.143.5)×1021I\lambda^2 \cong (0.14-3.5)\times 10^{21} W/cm2μ^2\mum2^2, and a distinct power increase beyond I=3.5×1021I=3.5\times 10^{21} W/cm2μ^2\mum2^2.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure

    Absorption of Ultrashort Laser Pulses in Strongly Overdense Targets

    Full text link
    We report on the first absorption experiments of sub-10 fs high-contrast Ti:Sa laser pulses incident on solid targets. The very good contrast of the laser pulse assures the formation of a very small pre-plasma and the pulse interacts with the matter close to solid density. Experimental results indicate that p-polarized laser pulses are absorbed up to 80 percent at 80 degrees incidence angle. The simulation results of PSC PIC code clearly confirm the observations and show that the collisionless absorption works efficiently in steep density profiles
