Abstract

Several plasma devices to control energetic electrons produced by ultra-intense lasers are studied. Cone targets guide the lasers and electrons, and enhance the generation of energetic electrons consequently. Plasma fibers confine and guide the energetic electrons, and lead an electron beam with very small spatial spread. Plasma lenses transport and collimate the energetic electrons into a very tiny spot. Grating plasmas give out Smith-Purcell radiations. The energy concentration brought by these energetic electrons in the methods of plasma photonics is improved more than 3 magnitudes compared to the simple plane targets, and new radiation source with tunable wavelength induced by energetic electrons is available.
