210. The technology of High Power lasers

Jose Juan Suarez Vargas (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare-Laboratori Nazionali del Sud, Catania (IT))

Oral

We will present the technology of high power lasers starting from its historical evolution to the contemporary state of the art. High-power lasers arose due to the pursuit of ultra-fast pulses and the need to amplify them for diverse applications.
Several prominent technologies of high power lasers, from solid state Titanium Sapphire to dye compounds, have allowed the generation of ultrashort...

The detection and characterization of radiation produced in laser–matter interactions pose significant challenges due to the extremely short duration and high intensity of the emitted signals. Different approaches can be employed to measure the charge generated in a detector by such laser-driven radiation....

212. Electromagnetic pulses from high power lasers: sources, risks and mitigation

Oral

The interaction of intense and energetic laser pulses with matter produces wideband particle and electromagnetic radiation. The radiofrequency-microwave part of these emissions can have remarkable intensity (beyond the MV/m order at distances larger than one meter from target) and is known as Electromagnetic Pulses (EMPs) [1]. The way to control these fields is through understanding their...
