Photon acceleration is the phenomenon whereby a light wave changes color when propagating through medium whose index of refraction in time. This concept can be used to describe spectral experienced by electromagnetic waves they propagate spatially and temporally varying plasmas. In this paper detection large-amplitude laser-driven wake field reported for first time, demonstrating photon acceleration. Several features characteristic fields, such as splitting main peak asymmetries between...
Iron oxide Fe2O3 nano-particle powder is investigated by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Laser ablation of loose (density 0.43 g cm−3) leads to the ejection particles and generates a plasma channel along laser beam path. LIBS spectra are obtained spatially integrated time-gated measurement in flushed N2 gas background. A simple delivery system allows for investigation directly without any pre-treatment fixation material. The Saha–Boltzmann analysis yields temperature T = (10250...
The production of monoenergetic electron beams by two copropagating ultrashort laser pulses is investigated both experiment and using particle-in-cell simulations. By proper timing between guiding driver pulses, a high-amplitude plasma wave generated sustained for longer than possible with either the individually, due to waveguiding pulse. growth inferred measurement low divergence that are not measured individually. This scheme can be easily implemented may allow more control interaction...
In the experiments reported here, filamentation of ultrashort laser pulses, due to non-optimal choice focusing geometry and/or electron number density, has a severely deleterious effect on monoenergetic beam production in wakefield accelerators. Interactions with relatively small focal spots, w0 < λp/2, and pulse length cτ ≈ λp, incur fragmentation into large low power filaments. These filaments are modulated density dependent size of, average, close λp. The break-up driving results shorter...
In this research we apply a high-resolution optical emission spectroscopy technique for spectrochemical analysis of collected diesel particulate matter. We use the laser-induced breakdown (LIBS) qualitative and quantitative measurements major chemical elements present in matter generated from different engine passenger vehicles use. The LIBS can instantly measure within diverse matrices.
The interaction of high intensity laser pulses with underdense plasma is investigated experimentally using a range parameters and energetic electron production mechanisms are compared. It clear that the physics these interactions changes significantly depending not only on but also pulse length. For in picosecond duration regime electrons highly correlated waves. However as intensities increased peak acceleration increases beyond which can be produced from single stage wave direct must...
The use of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for the sorting polymers containing heavy metal impurity is investigated.

The physics of the interaction high-intensity laser pulses with underdense plasma depends not only on intensity but also pulse length. We show experimentally that as intensities are increased beyond 10 20 W cm −2 peak electron acceleration increases which can be produced from single stage wave and it is likely direct mechanisms begin to play an important role. If, alternatively, length reduced such approaches period a relativistic wave, high-power interactions at much lower enable generation...
