Building a laser shield on or around an optical table is easy with a variety of flexible options from the Kentek Table-Guard™ and Bench -Guard™ systems. A modular and highly flexible approach to ...

A drop of methanol is distorted to form a cup of hot plasma. Plasma waves are driven in this cup by an intense laser, releasing hot electrons, followed by accelerated protons. Credit: Created by the ...

High harmonics: a NIR pulse (red) is focussed, and high harmonics are generated in a gas jet that is placed before or behind the NIR focus. The generated XUV light (violet) has a size and divergence ...

Laser plasma accelerators offer the potential to create powerful electron beams within a fraction of the space required by conventional accelerators – and at a fraction of the cost. Their promise for ...

A laser plasma accelerator uses a laser pulse (red and blue disks, extreme right) to create a wake through a plasma, creating strong electric fields. Like surfers on a wave, free electrons ride the ...
