Coherent High-Harmonic Generation with Laser-Plasma Beams

Accelerator Physics 2024-10-01 v3

Abstract

Active energy compression scheme is presently being investigated for future laser-plasma accelerators. This method enables generating laser-plasma accelerator electron beams with a small, 105\sim 10^{-5}, relative slice energy spread. When modulated by a laser pulse, such beams can produce coherent radiation at very high, 100\sim 100-th harmonics of the modulation laser wavelength, which are hard to access by conventional techniques. The scheme has a potential of providing additional capabilities for future plasma-based facilities by generating stable, tunable, narrow-band radiation.
