For many years, laser-driven ion acceleration, mainly proton acceleration, has been
proposed and a number of proof-of-principle experiments have been carried out with lasers …

Laser-wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) were proposed more than three decades ago, and
while they promise to deliver compact, high energy particle accelerators, they will also …

In this paper, we will review both past and recent progresses in the generation, detection
and application of intense terahertz (THz) radiation. We will restrict the review to laser based …

Recent research and development has been incredibly successful at advancing the
capabilities for vacuum electronic device (VED) sources of powerful terahertz (THz) and …

Laser-driven plasma-based accelerators, which are capable of supporting fields in excess of
100 GV∕ m, are reviewed. This includes the laser wakefield accelerator, the plasma beat …

Particle accelerators are used in a wide variety of fields, ranging from medicine and biology
to high-energy physics. The accelerating fields in conventional accelerators are limited to a …

Laser-driven accelerators, in which particles are accelerated by the electric field of a plasma
wave (the wakefield) driven by an intense laser, have demonstrated accelerating electric …

Gigaelectron volt (GeV) electron accelerators are essential to synchrotron radiation facilities
and free-electron lasers, and as modules for high-energy particle physics. Radiofrequency …

Laser-plasma wakefield accelerators have seen tremendous progress, now capable of
producing quasi-monoenergetic electron beams in the GeV energy range with few …

A transient photocurrent model is developed to explain coherent terahertz emission from air
irradiated by a symmetry-broken laser field composed of the fundamental and its second …
