Ultra intense glass laser system and laser-plasma interactions

Description

The 30 TW GEKKO MII short pulse laser (25 J in 0.71 ps at 1 μm) is completed and is used for fast ignitor and particle accelerator research. The photon pressure of the laser at 1017-1018 W/cm2 pushed the critical and quarter critical density plasmas forward, resulting in the strong red shifts of the second (2ω0) and three-halves (3ω0/2) harmonic emissions backscattered from CH or CD planes. A few hundred keV proton and deuteron emissions are also observed from CD planes. (orig.)
