Over the last two decades, BNL's ATF has pioneered the use of high-peak power CO2 lasers for research in advanced accelerators and radiation sources. In additio

The first book of its kind to highlight the unique capabilities of laser-driven acceleration and its diverse potential, Applications of Laser-Driven Particle Ac

Here we discuss how expanding the scope of relativistic plasma research to wavelengths longer than [lambda]/H".81.1[mu]m covered by conventional mode-locked sol

The first terawatt picosecond C02 laser system is under development at the Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility. Presently operational 1 Joule 100-ps ATF laser

Short-pulse, high-power C02 lasers open new prospects for development of high-gradient laser-driven electron accelerators. The advantages of [lambda]=10 [mu]m C
