Laser-driven electron emission and expansion for the generation and guidance of giant EMPs

High-power laser interacting with matter generates intense electromagnetic pulses (EMPs), which are closely associated with laser and target parameters. In this study, EMPs induced by picosecond (ps) laser coupling with solid targets are recorded at the XG-III laser facility. Gold wire targets produ...

Zusammenfassung:High-power laser interacting with matter generates intense electromagnetic pulses (EMPs), which are closely associated with laser and target parameters. In this study, EMPs induced by picosecond (ps) laser coupling with solid targets are recorded at the XG-III laser facility. Gold wire targets produce more intense EMPs with a maximum EMP value of 608 kV/m compared to some planar targets. EMP propagation in the normal direction is highly coincident with the expansion of detected hot electrons, which is verified by the particle-in-cell simulations. This work is expected to pave, to our knowledge, a new avenue for directional guidance of laser-driven EMPs.
