Enhancing laser beam performance by interfering intense laser beamlets

Enhancing laser beam performance by interfering intense laser beamlets

Enhanced coupling of laser energy to the target particles is a fundamental issue in laser-plasma interactions. Here the authors demonstrate increased photon absorption leading into higher laser to electron and proton energy transfer through the interference of multiple coherent beamlets.
