Side-view density profiles of a laser-induced plasma were measured by a home-built, time-
resolved, Mach–Zehnder-like interferometer. Due to the pump-probe femtosecond resolution …

We have explored the fabrication of submillimetric de Laval nozzles by ultrashort laser
pulses micromachining in alumina, a dielectric ceramic, to generate supersonic gas jets in …

This work reports the development of a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer aimed at
determining the density of gas targets and laser generated plasmas, in time and space. This …

This work reports the development and experimental implementation of a methodology for
manufacturing submillimetric de Laval nozzles by ultrashort laser pulses micromachining by …

This work reports a theoretical and experimental study of supersonic gas jets to be used as
targets in laser wakefield acceleration. A comparison between theoretical and experimental …

Laser particle acceleration is now in a new trend due to an enormous worldwide effort to
increase the peak power of femtosecond lasers, as well as increasing their average power …

Ultrashort laser pulses interact with matter in unique, nonselective ways, due to electronic
direct excitation in an ultrafast time scale. Additionally, these pulses can cover peak powers …

We present a simple ionization model to assess the density of plasmas created in air by
ionization induced by the electric field of ultrashort laser pulses. It calculates the average …

The fast-growing field of particle acceleration using lasers is now in a new trend due to an
enormous worldwide effort to increase the peak power of femtosecond laser systems, as …
