Abstract

During 2001-2008 we constructed a 10-TW laser first at Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences and then a 100-TW laser at National Central University in Taiwan. These lasers was used for the development of laser-wakefield electron accelerator, extreme-UV laser, high harmonic generation, hard x-ray sources, few-cycle infrared sources, and experiments on plasma nonlinear optics.

In the development of laser-wakefield electron accelerator, by using a 9-mm laser-fabricated transient plasma waveguide to confine the pump pulse and extend the acceleration distance, a monoenergetic electron bunch with 300-MeV energy and a maximum of 200-pC bunch charge can be produced with 1.3-J pump energy. The electron energy spread is 13%. When the hydrogen gas is mixed with an optimal fraction of 10% argon gas, which seeds the accelerator by optical-field ionization, the trapping threshold can be reduced to 600 mJ. At this trapping threshold the energy of the accelerated electron is 200 MeV with 15% spread, and the bunch charge is 30 pC [1].

In the development of extreme-UV laser, we demonstrated that by using a 9-mm laser-fabricated transient plasma waveguide to overcome ionization defocusing, extreme-UV lasing at 32.8 nm with 1011 photons per pulse can be achieved with a pump energy of only 235 mJ [2]. Furthermore, by injecting the EUV laser with high-harmonic generation, the emittance of the extreme-UV laser can be reduced by 17 folds [3]. With the same scheme recently we achieved 1012 photons per pulse by increasing the pump-pulse energy to 600 mJ [4].

In the development of ultrafast infrared sources, we demonstrated an efficient method for generating femtosecond mid-infrared pulses by utilizing the strong nonlinear phase modulation associated with laser-plasma interaction in the bubble regime. The pulse duration is as short as 15 fs and the pulse energy is as large as 3 mJ. The infrared pulse is encapsulated in the bubble created by the ponderomotive force before exiting the plasma, hence is not absorbed by the plasma [5].
