High-harmonic radiation can be generated when an ultra-intense laser beam is reflected
from an over-dense plasma, known as a plasma mirror. It is considered a promising …

Abstract In the 1990s, Professor Stephen Chou from Princeton University introduced the
concept of nanoimprint lithography, a novel method for manufacturing nanostructures using …

Via a combination of analytical and numerical methods, we study electron-positron pair
creation by the electromagnetic field A (t, r)=[f (ct-x)+ f (ct+ x)] ey of two colliding laser pulses …

Extreme heat loads on optics, in particular the final pulse compression gratings, are a major
hurdle to overcome in the ongoing push towards high average power (kW) and high …

The optimum parameters for the generation of synchrotron radiation in ultraintense laser
pulse interactions with planar foils are investigated with the application of Bayesian …

We study the enhancement of tunneling through a potential barrier V (x) by a time-
dependent electric field with special emphasis on pulse-shaped vector potentials such as A …

Physical scenarios where the electromagnetic fields are so strong that quantum
electrodynamics (QED) plays a substantial role are one of the frontiers of contemporary …

Signatures for strong-field quantum electrodynamics are determined for collisions between
round ultrarelativistic leptonic beams in the quantum limit of beamstrahlung. In the low …
