High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases leads to short-pulse extreme ultraviolet
(XUV) radiation that is useful in a number of applications, such as attosecond science and …

Laser-driven plasma-based accelerators, which are capable of supporting fields in excess of
100 GV∕ m, are reviewed. This includes the laser wakefield accelerator, the plasma beat …

This book represents the first comprehensive treatment of the subject, covering the
theoretical principles, present experimental status and important applications of short-pulse …

An overview is given of the physics issues relevant to the plasma wakefield accelerator, the
plasma beat-wave accelerator, the laser wakefield accelerator, including the self-modulated …

Dense quantum plasmas are ubiquitous in planetary interiors and in compact astrophysical
objects (eg, the interior of white dwarf stars, in magnetars, etc.), in semiconductors and …

We review the generation of broadband THz radiation from femtosecond photo‐induced gas
plasmas, with an emphasis on the highly efficient “AC‐bias” case where the plasma is …

Several features of intense, short-pulse (/spl lsim/1 ps) laser propagation in gases
undergoing ionization and in plasmas are reviewed, discussed, and analyzed. The wave …

Plasma density gradients in a gas jet were used to control the wake phase velocity and
trapping threshold in a laser wakefield accelerator, producing stable electron bunches with …

Recent theoretical and experimental research with short-pulse, high-intensity lasers is
surveyed with particular emphasis on new physical processes that occur in interactions with …

High-gradient acceleration of externally injected 2.1-MeV electrons by a laser beat wave
driven relativistic plasma wave has been demonstrated for the first time. Electrons with …
