Investigation of Pre-Pulse Effects on Ultrashort-Pulse Laser Interaction with Structured Targets

The role of pre-plasma in the efficient generation of protons by intense laser-matter interaction from structured targets is investigated. Optimal energy coupling between laser and plasma is found by varying the fluence and arrival time of an independently controllable ultrashort pre-pulse with resp...

Tartalmi kivonat:The role of pre-plasma in the efficient generation of protons by intense laser-matter interaction from structured targets is investigated. Optimal energy coupling between laser and plasma is found by varying the fluence and arrival time of an independently controllable ultrashort pre-pulse with respect to the main interaction pulse. The coupling is evaluated based on the energy of the accelerated protons. The accelerated proton energy is maximized at optimal pre-pulse delay and fluence conditions. Plasma emission spectrum and Particle-in-Cell simulations provide a possible explanation of the obtained experiment results.
