Commonly, a gas laser pumped by a pulsed discharge requires a pre-ionization system to
form a uniform discharge at a high repetition rate like 1 kHz. In this paper, however, a …

We propose a method to generate isolated relativistic terahertz (THz) pulses using a high-
power laser irradiating a microplasma waveguide (MPW). When the laser pulse enters the …

Optical diffusers provide a solution for a variety of applications requiring a Gaussian intensity
distribution including imaging systems, biomedical optics, and aerospace. Advances in laser …

When a relativistically intense p-polarized laser pulse is grazingly incident onto a planar
solid-state target, a slightly superluminal field structure is formed near the target surface due …

Six-temperature model is a main model to simulate dynamics of molecular gas lasers
including transversely excited atmospheric-pressure (TEA) CO 2 lasers. We propose a …

The design, development and operational characteristics of a compact corona pre-ionized
helium-free TEA CO 2 laser is discussed. Remarkably high efficiency of about 19% was …

CO 2 inductively coupled plasmas (ICPs) were generated using a radio frequency power of
13.56 MHz at 100 mTorr. Electron energy distribution functions (EEDFs) were measured …

In the paper, relativistic ponderomotive force acceleration of electrons in weak
inhomogenous underdense plasma is investigated. The results shown that, in interaction of …

When a high-contrast ultra-relativistic (> 10 20 W/cm 2) laser beam enters a micro-sized
plasma waveguide, the pulse energy is coupled into waveguide modes, which significantly …

Electron acceleration by relativistically intense laser beam propagating along a curved
surface allows to split softly the accelerated electron bunch and the laser beam. The …
