Laser Beam Shaping & Metrology
Insight
Our new tool for advanced metrology and mapping of spatio-temporal couplings (STC) at the laser focus was successfully implemented to completely characterize for the first time a PetaWatt femtosecond laser operating at full intensity.

SL-GT-10 : high density gas jet
We have successfully demonstrated in our lab the production in a stable and reproducible regime of a very sharp and high density helium jet. The jet size is <30 µm FWHM, and reads atomic peak density close to 5 x 1020 atoms/cm3. This is a factor five improvement in size comparing to our precedent record in thin and dense gas jet production. We believe this important step forward will benefit in particular to electron injection in laser wakefield acceleration, ion acceleration in near-critical regime and HHG with mid-IR drivers.

SmartShot: an easy access to medium densities range
SourceLAB and our partner Smartshell are proud to propose the smartshot jet system, ideal for reliable laser wakefield acceleration of electron. The wave-free supersonic pulsed gas jet system SMARTSHOT is developed as a gas target for laser-plasma interaction studies such as laser-plasma acceleration, X-ray lasers, laser-plasma X-ray sources, etc…
It can be used for the experimental studies which require the production of very localized high-density gas target with high repetition rate in vacuum.

KAIO : the first plug & play laser plasma accelerator for beam applications
We are pleased to introduce our Kit All In One, a unique powerful tool for ion acceleration and “on-target / high-flux” laser monitoring. KAIO users can accelerate ions with an intense laser, study the related physics and make benefit of the stable ion beam for direct applications (e.g dosimetry, hardening, surface analysis).
With TNSA proton signal from KAIO, users have unambiguous and quantitative access to laser pulse quality (e.g. temporal contrast) and are empowered to improve their laser to suit laser plasma requirements.

SL-ALC: the motorized and adjustable gas cell for LWFA has now its dedicated pressure regulator
SL-ALC-HI system is a motorized gas cell of adjustable length, conceived for laser-plasma interaction experiments in underdense regime.
It ensures stable Laser Wakefield Acceleration at high repetition rate. It now comes with a dedicated regulator to operate in pulsed/continuous modes with on-line and real-time control of the gas density inside the cell.
