We experimentally demonstrate that plasma waveguides produced with ultra-short laser
pulses (sub-picosecond) in gas jets are capable of guiding high intensity laser pulses. This …

We demonstrate the efficient generation of 4 mm and 8 mm long plasma waveguides in
hydrogen and helium. These waveguides have matching spots sizes for 13 to 34 μm laser …

The generation of GeV-scale electron beams in a gas-filled capillary discharge waveguide
with good reproducibility is discussed. Beams of electrons with energies above 900 MeV …

We experimentally demonstrate that a column of hydrogen plasma generated by an ultra-
short (sub-picosecond), moderate intensity (∼ 10 15–16 W. cm–2) laser, radially expands at …

We present an all solid-state, high voltage pulsed power supply for inducing stable plasma
formation (density∼ 10 18 cm− 3) in gas-filled capillary discharge waveguides. The pulser …

The photonic band gap of obliquely incident terahertz electromagnetic waves in a one-
dimensional plasma photonic crystal is studied. The periodic structure consists of lossless …

The Laboratory for Intense Lasers (L2I) is a research centre in optics and lasers dedicated to
experimental research in high intensity laser science and technology and laser plasma …

In this paper, we present a paraxial description of relativistic self-focusing of a Gaussian
laser beam in a plasma channel with the density distribution as a function of radial and axial …

Carefully engineered, controlled, and diagnosed plasma sources are a key ingredient in
mastering plasma-based particle accelerator technology. This work reviews basic physics …

Summary form only given. Laser-plasma accelerators use intense laser pulses to produce
relativistic plasma density structures that can trap and accelerate electron bunches. The …
