Plasma accelerators driven by high-power lasers can provide high-energy electron beams on a dramatically smaller scale than conventional radio-frequency accelerators. However, the performance of these accelerators is fundamentally limited by the diffraction of the laser. Laser-generated plasma waveguides can mitigate this problem and, combined with a controlled injection method for electrons, highlight the potential of novel laser-plasma optics.
由高功率激光驱动的等离子体加速器能够在比传统射频加速器小得多的规模上提供高能电子束。然而，这些加速器的性能从根本上受到激光衍射的限制。激光产生的等离子体波导可以缓解这一问题，并且与电子的可控注入方法相结合，凸显了新型激光等离子体光学的潜力。
