Book excerpt: Short-pulse, high-power C02 lasers open new prospects for development of high-gradient laser-driven electron accelerators. The advantages of [lambda]=10 [mu]m CO2 laser radiation over the more widely exploited solid state lasers with [lambda]≈1 [mu]m are based on a [lambda]2-proportional ponderomotive potential, [lambda]-proportional phase slippage distance, and %-proportional scaling of the laser accelerator structures. We show how a picosecond terawatt C02 laser that is under construction at the Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility may benefit the ATFs experimental program of testing far-field, near-field, and plasma accelerator schemes.

We compare laser performance with model predictions. Extrapolations suggest the possibility of compact terawatt CO2 laser systems suitable as laser accelerator drivers and for other strong-field applications. Latest progress on an Inverse Cherenkov Laser Accelerator experiment is reported.
Download or read book Emerging Terawatt Picosecond CO2 Laser Technology and Possible Applications in Accelerator Physics written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first terawatt picosecond (TWps) CO2 laser is under construction at the BNL Accelerator Test Facility (ATF). TWps-CO2 lasers, having the order of magnitude longer wavelength than the well-known table-top terawatt solid state lasers, offer new opportunities for the strong-field physics research. For processes based on electro quiver motion, such as laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA), the advantage of the new class of lasers is due to a gain of two orders of magnitude in the ponderomotive potential for the same peak power. The large average power capability of CO2 lasers is important for the generation of hard radiation through Compton back-scattering of the laser off energetic electron beams, as well as for other applications. Among them are: LWFA modules of a tentative electron-positron collider, [gamma]-[gamma] (or [gamma]-lepton) collider, a possible table-top source of high-intensity x-rays and gamma rays and the generation of polarized positron beams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The use of both particle accelerators and lasers is ubiquitous. For example electron accelerators are used to generate X-ray beams for cancer therapy. Lasers are used in vast research programs around the world but also by a large part of the world's population in everyday life. Small systems are used to read product prices at stores and to read/write CDs/DVDs. This book is about using powerful lasers to make accelerators - in others words, combining these two large fields and describing candidate areas of research, development and application that can take advantage of this novel particle acceleration scheme. The book includes a comparison with beams generated by conventional accelerators"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brief overview of laser acceleration techniques and a comparative analysis of the picosecond terawatt (ps-TW) CO2 laser technology versus T3 solid state lasers for prospective HEP applications. Special attention is given to two laser accelerator schemes. The first one is the far-field staged laser accelerator, STELLA, which is under exploration at the ATF using a CO2 laser. The second is a laser wakefield accelerator where ps-TW CO2 lasers have a great potential. Inverse to the laser accelerator, a prospective monochromatic x-ray source feasible at the ATF will also utilize a 50 MeV subpicosecond electron beam and the first ps-TW CO2 laser, PITER I.
Download or read book CO2 Lasers Effects and Applications written by W Duley and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CO2 Lasers: Effects and Applications examines and summarizes the important applications of the device in different areas of study like physics, chemistry, and engineering. In some parts of the book, the reader is assumed to be knowledgeable in university level mathematics or some specialized area in physics or chemistry. The book consists of 10 chapters where the first two establish the general concepts on lasers and CO2 lasers, respectively. Chapter 3 takes the reader further and presents a comprehensive review of optical components for use such as detectors, windows, and mirrors. Because the CO2 laser is mostly used as a heat source, the theory of laser-surface heating is relevant in the discussion. This theory is presented in Chapter 4. Chapters 5 and 6 meanwhile present a summary of observations on cutting, welding, and some related topics. The following chapters discuss the different applications of CO2 lasers in different areas and processes. Some of these applications include in the generation of thermal effect, laser deposition of thin films, spectroscopy, laser photochemistry, and meteorology and communication systems. The text is a good source of reference to both students and scientists in the areas of physics, chemistry, and engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstration of ultra-high acceleration gradients in the SM LWFA experiments put a next objective for the laser accelerator development to achieve a low-emittance monochromatic acceleration over extended interaction distances. The emerging picosecond terawatt (ps-TW) CO2 laser technology helps to meet this strategic goal. Among the considered examples are: the staged electron laser accelerator (STELLA) experiment, which is being conducted at the Brookhaven ATF, and the plasma-channeled LWFA. The long-wavelength and high average power capabilities of CO2 lasers maybe utilized also for generation of intense x-ray and gamma radiation through Compton back-scattering of the laser beams off relativistic electrons. We discuss applications of ps-TW CO2 lasers for a tentative [gamma]-[gamma] (or [gamma]-lepton) collider and generation of polarized positron beams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compact table-top 20-GW 50-ps CO2 laser system is in operation for strong-field physics studies at the ATF. We propose scaling up of the picosecond CO2 laser to a terawatt peak power level to meet the requirements of advanced laser accelerators. Computer modeling shows that a relatively compact single-beam picosecond CO2 laser system with a high-pressure x-ray picosecond amplifier of a 10-cm aperture is potentially scalable to the (approximately)1-TW peak power level.
