Abstract
- We propose a new scheme for compression of ultrashort laser pulses enabled by Near-Forward Raman Amplification (NFRA) in plasma. In contrast to traditional forward Raman amplification in plasma, the seed pulse in NFRA propagates faster than the pump through manipulation of the spatiotemporal properties of the pump beam. A "π-pulse" solution similar to that of stimulated Raman backscattering amplification is obtained, indicating that NFRA can be used for compression of ultrashort laser pulses. NFRA is numerically demonstrated with a 2D simulation using a front-tilt near-forward pump pulse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
