Research Areas
|
The Laser Plasma Laboratory is involved in investigation of a
number
of basic and applied aspects in laser-plasma interaction, especially those
involving radiation from the plasma. The main current areas of research
interest of this lab are :
- High Order Harmonics (HHG) in plasma plumes
- Laser based electron acceleration
- MeV x-ray generation by the relativistic hot electrons
- Generation of neutrons
- X-ray lasing schemes using ultra-short pulse lasers
These experiments are being persued using the 10TW, 10Hz titanium sapphire laser system.
In parallel, we are also working on
Our earlier studies were on :
- Studies of the mechanisms of producing population inversion in the excited states of highly charged ions using ns laser
- Thermal x-ray generation and its dependence on laser / target parameters
- XUV-soft x-ray spectroscopic studies of ns/ps laser produced plasma
- X-ray contact microscopic imaging of biological samples and physical microstructures
- Pulsed electron emission from laser heated ferroelectrics
- Time resolved interferometry of plasmas
Here are some details of our recent studies:
More details of these studies can be found in our publications listed here
