AI 中文摘要
我们展示了一台由高重复率光学参量啁啾脉冲放大(OPCPA)激光器驱动的激光尾场加速器,在100 Hz重复率下产生了稳定的、准单能电子束。使用70 mJ、8.1 fs的激光脉冲,我们获得了47 MeV的电子束,电荷量为15 pC,固有能散低于10%。对连续10000发激光脉冲的测量显示,峰值能量的均方根涨落仅为1.4%,电荷涨落为12%,同时指向抖动较低。主成分分析表明,光束涨落可由五个物理上可解释的模式描述,其中以低于1 Hz的缓慢变化为主。粒子模拟(PIC)重现了测量到的能谱,并表明非线性自聚焦将电离注入局域化,从而产生了观测到的窄能量分布。所展示的电子能量、电荷、束流质量和稳定性的结合,标志着向高平均功率激光等离子体加速器迈出了重要一步。
英文摘要
We demonstrate a laser-wakefield accelerator driven by a high-repetition-rate optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) laser, producing stable, quasi-monoenergetic electron beams at 100 Hz. Using 70 mJ, 8.1 fs laser pulses, we obtain 47 MeV electron beams with 15 pC charge and an intrinsic energy spread below 10%. Measurements over 10,000 consecutive shots show rms fluctuations of only 1.4% in peak energy and 12% in charge, together with low pointing jitter. Principal-component analysis reveals that the beam fluctuations are described by five physically interpretable modes, dominated by slow variations below 1 Hz. Particle-in-cell simulations reproduce the measured spectrum and show that nonlinear self-focusing localizes ionization injection, resulting in the observed narrow energy distribution. The demonstrated combination of electron energy, charge, beam quality, and stability represents a significant step toward high-average-power laser-plasma accelerators.
