2 Laser-Plasma-Interaction Experiment focussing mirror laser pulse target pulse duration s plasma neutrons target photons ions unique property: focussing of laser light electrons hot dense plasma can produce very high intensities
3 Essential steps in laser technology triggered new fields in laser plasma physics Q-switching ns > W/cm 2 plasma ablation (concept of inertial confinement fusion) laser plasma soft x-ray sources Mode locking ps > W/cm 2 strong field physics nonlinear effects (observation of high harmonics) laser plasma hard x-ray sources spectral control, fs > W/cm 2 chirped pulse amplification relativistic plasma physics particle acceleration (observation and prediction)
4 Chirped Pulse Amplification creation of highest light intensities
5 Prerequisites for experiments and examples: First: the laser example: view to the High Field Laser Laboratory at Max-Born-Institut Outline: temporal contrast, focusing, beam synchronization, ion diagnostic mixed with experiment examples
6 High Field Laser System XPW-frontend MBI-development LA 1 MBI-development output 80 mj bandwidth 80 nm LA 2 Amplitude Technology only multi-pass amplification with old frontend: pulse duration 45 fs 30 TW on target (contrast 10-7 ) 15 TW on target (contrast 10-11, with plasma mirror ) regenerative- and multi-pass amplification pulse duration 25 fs 100 TW at compressor output (contrast 10-9, AT- frontend) (contrast 10-11,XPW- frontend)
7 Experimental areas
8 Setting an experiment for high-intensity laser solid matter interaction Prerequisites: temporal contrast focusing laser beam synchronization ion detection contrast issue: ns pedestal launches shock and heat waves K Zeil et al. New Journal of Physics 12 (2010)
9 Examples Shock Wave S. Eliezer The interaction of high-power laser pulses with plasmas
10 Temporal contrast of a multi-pass Ti:Sapph laser system ~ W/cm 2 ~ W/cm 2 plasma creation threshold for ~ ns pulses Improvement necessary, otherwise interaction with low density plasma at pulse peak
11 Pulse duration and contrast measurement correlators (examples) second order third order
12 Ultra-high temporal contrast of the laser pulse is the critical issue - plasma mirror - Initial Parameter pulse energy: 1.2 J pulse duration 45 fs ns - ASE contrast: 5 x 10-8 Double Plasma Mirror (DPM) energy throughput ~60 % no decrease of focusability Target chamber focused with f /2.5 Off-Axis Parabola (OAP) Focus Diameter 3.6 Öm Intensity ~ 5 x W/cm 2 a 0 ~ 5 Data from literature and qualitative comparison suggest I pedestal < I peak
13 Plasma Mirror: ultra-high temporal contrast E ~ 1.3 J, 45 fs Interaction with nm-thick foils: contrast > E ~ 0.7 J, 45 fs, I Lpeak ~ 5 x W/cm 2 Henig et al. PRL 2009 Steinke et al. LPB 2010 plasma mirror - coated substrates view inside: plasma mirror in vacuum chamber best with XPW-frontend perfect shot series degradation due to debris damage of test coating
14 Example: change of the temporal laser contrast effect on fast ion emission Front-side and back-side emitted ions Ti (thickness ~ 5 micron ), 45 deg. irradiation, a 0 ~ 3 (no PM), a 0 ~ (1-2) (PM) laser fs-protons counts (protons) shot without pm (2.7 J b.c.) bs fs files bs/fs mcp bs/fs 40/16 counts/ion fs-counts*1/3 due bs/fs trace width energy (MeV) signal cutoff bs-protons ASE-contrast: with double plasma mirror < energy (MeV) shot with pm (2.6 J b.c.) bs fs files bs/fs mcp bs/fs 40/16 counts/ion fs-counts*1/3 due bs/fs trace width

YES!
16 Setting an experiment for high-intensity laser solid matter interaction Prerequisites: temporal contrast focusing laser beam synchronization ion detection focus issue : - need well defined intensity distribution focus quality - CPA systems with a grating compressor require simultaneous optimization of focus and compression (compensation of slight grating mismatches)

28 Gating of particle detectors (MCPs) Recording of 2D images with temporal information (resolution) obtained with particle beam dispersed in time (particles with different kinetic energies and different time of flights) requires gating of the detector (snapshot) film (stack) detector - gating corresponds to energy detection interval MCP detector - need temporal gating
