In particular, the high accelerating gradient that can be reached with laser-acceleration mechanisms, almost 1000 times stronger than for conventional accelerators, makes them an attractive alternative. A stronger...Go to contribution page

Mr Samuel Beaulieu (INRS-EMT)17/06/2014, 16:15Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Canada / Division de la physique atomique, moléculaire et photonique, Canada (DAMOPC-DPAMPC)Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)Until very recently, Free Electron Lasers (FEL) and synchrotrons offering femtosecond (10$^{-15}$s) slicing technology have been the only facilities able to generate femtosecond X-Ray pulses in the water window (280-530 eV) spectral range. Bringing ultrafast science to the soft-X-Ray offer a wide range of application like studying multielectron dynamics in gas phase atoms/molecules,...Go to contribution page

One way to guide or redirect the physics relationships is to manipulate the composition or shape of targets. Nickel nanowires present >95% optical absorption into an effective skin-depth that is very long, greater...Go to contribution page

Mr Muhammad Raj Masud (University of Alberta)17/06/2014, 17:00Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Canada / Division de la physique atomique, moléculaire et photonique, Canada (DAMOPC-DPAMPC)Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)New ceramic laser materials allow the development of scalable, high efficiency and high repetition rate direct diode pumped laser modules. We are developing a diode pumped multipass amplifier as part of a new terawatt laser system being developed at the University of Alberta. Currently measurements are being carried out of the gain and extracted energy from a Yb:YAG ceramic disk amplifier...Go to contribution page
