Raman amplification of ultra-short laser pulses in plasma
This thesis presents the experimental investigation of Raman amplification of ultrashort laser pulses by a counter propagating chirped pump pulse through resonant excitation of a plasma density wave. Since plasma is a gain medium able to withstand very high intensities, this scheme is proposed as th...
