Ultra Intense Laser Analysis

We will trace the layout of the 'Relativistic Lambda-Cubed' laser to model its operation and possible modes of focusing light to it wavelength limit and extreme intensities.

 

Student Tasks and Responsibilities:  The student will learn optical ray tracing software and generate a model of the working laser system so that the behavior of pulses in the laser system may be understood.  Attendance at weekly group meeting is required.
