The equation describing the plasma response to the acting laser pulse is derived by using the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the case nu (g) approximate to nu (ph) approximate to w less than or equal to c. The equation is solved numerically for one-dimensional Gaussian pulse and analytically for a square-shaped laser pulse. It is shown that the amplitude and the wavelength of the wake wave depend strongly on the amplitude and the length of the laser pulse.

Wakefield generation in one-dimensional LWFA
Vanchinkhuu, J; Bilikmen, S (2001-06-01)
The generation of wakefields in near-critical density plasma by a short laser pulse is considered. The equations describing the plasma response to the acting laser pulse and the Hamiltonian of an electron in the wakefield are derived by using the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the cases of nu (g) similar or equal to nu (p) similar or equal to w = c w < c (e is the speed of light). The equations are solved analytically in two cases for a square-shaped laser pulse. The plasma potential inside the laser pulse an...
High gradient plasma waves to accelerate charged particles
Yedierler, Burak; Bilikmen, Kadri Sinan; Department of Physics (2002)
In this thesis one of the most promising plasma based particle acceleration methods, the Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) mechanism is discussed in detail. Starting from the standard LWFA method, the wakefield generation in plasmas and the energy gain of electrons are formulated. The wakefield generation by a multi passage laser beam in a plasma model based on the resonant LWFA is proposed. The growth of the wakefield amplitude is demonstrated and the corresponding energy gain of electrons is calculated....
Super-gain parametric wave amplification in optical micro-resonators using ultrashort pump waves
Aşırım, Özüm Emre; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020)
The aim of this thesis is to show that super-gain electromagnetic wave amplification can be achieved in a small micro-resonator using high-intensity ultrashort pump waves, provided that the frequencies of the ultrashort pulses are tuned to maximize the intracavity magnitude of the wave to be amplified, which is called the stimulus wave. In order to accomplish this, a dispersion analysis is performed via numerical modeling of the polarization density in terms of the nonlinear electron cloud motion. The polar...
EXPLICIT EXPRESSION FOR GROWTH-RATES IN FREE-ELECTRON LASERS WITH HELICAL AND AXIAL MAGNETIC-FIELDS
DEMOKAN, O; KABAK, Y (1992-10-01)
The dispersion relations of transverse and longitudinal modes in a free-electron laser with helical and axial magnetic fields are derived exactly for the one-dimensional case. The modes with positive and negative helicity are distinguished clearly. An analytically solvable expression for the growth rate of the modes, in resonance with the beam, is obtained. The dependence of the growth rate on system parameters is studied for broad ranges of values and comments on optimization are made.
Optical absorption of a quantum well with an adjustable asymmetry
Yildirim, H.; Tomak, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-04-01)
The effects of asymmetry and the electric field on the electronic subbands and the nonlinear intersubband optical absorption of GaAs quantum wells represented by a Poschl-Teller confining potential are studied. The potential itself can be made asymmetric through a correct choice of its parameter set and this adjustable asymmetry is important for optimizing the absorption. In that way optimal cases can be created. We calculate the modified wave functions and electronic subbands variationally. The linear and ...
