  6. 5. Transient Plasma Photonic Crystals - A Route Towards Slow Ultra-intense Light?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Robin Weissenbilder; [2018]
    Keywords : slow; light; plasma; photonic; crystal; transient; ultra-intense; short; pulse; laser; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Periodic electron and ion density modulations in near critical density plasmas induced by counterpropagating femtosecond pulses of intensities on the order of 10¹⁵ to 10¹⁶ Wcm⁻² are described in a linear and stationary regime and investigated using particle-in-cell simulations in one and two dimensions. The periodic gratings produce transient plasma photonic crystals lasting up to several picoseconds with ultra-wide angle-selective band gaps on the order of Δω/ω₀ ≈ 10-20%. READ MORE
