ELI-Beamlines will be the high-energy, repetition-rate laser pillar of the ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) project. It will be an international facility for both academic and applied research, slated to provide first user capability since the beginning of 2018. The main objective of the ELI-Beamlines Project is delivery of ultra-short high-energy pulses for the generation and applications...
At the newly formed Laser Plasma Interactions group at UCI, a wide variety of unique laser capabilities is becoming available for use. The 3000 square foot lab is equipped with HEPA filtering and temperature/humidity stability to ensure robust laser operation. A 30 fs Ti:Sapphire regenerative amplifier is at the heart of the laser facility, operating at high repetition rates of 1 kHz and peak...
Extreme light at Center for Relativistic Laser Science (CoReLS) in Korea has been developed and currently its’ output power reaches 4 PW. The output energy and the pulse duration are 83 J and 19.6 fs, respectively after the pulse compression. In addition, we have carried out the pulse compression experiment with thin fused silica plates using a 30 fs, 100 TW laser pulse. After compensating the...
An experimental platform is presented, aimed at studying the impact of laser-driven high-energy protons on biological objects. The platform has been developed using the PW-class PEARL laser facility (IAP RAS Nizhny Novgorod, Russia). Pilot experiments were performed using laser-accelerated protons having up to 25 MeV energy, and we demonstrated the possibility of transferring doses up to 10 Gy...
