A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse using the 4-Petawatt laser.

The strong terahertz (THz) waves generated by femtosecond laser pulses induced gas plasma have drawn extensive attention owing to the ultra-wide spectral bandwidth, the high electric field strength, ...

Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...

Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting ...

Semiconductor laser diodes (SLDs) are often packaged with a photodiode. The output current from this photodiode can be monitored to regulate the output power intensity of the laser diode. SLDs, ...
