介绍了以强激光驱动电容线圈靶的实验方法产生磁场的基本模型及其发展过程。对比了实验室中常用的三种磁场诊断方法,包含:B-dot、法拉第旋转以及质子背光,发现前两种方法在实验中仅可以获得距离靶较远处的有限个磁场值,通过结合模拟工具获得靶处的磁场值与测量点的值跨越几个数量级,容易产生误差;质子背光诊断可以在实验中获得全局磁场信息,能够较好地满足线圈靶磁场诊断的需求。由于线圈靶磁场强且可持续时间长,在时空分布上具有一定可控性,因此我们将其应用到了磁重联的研究中,并成功获得了重联出流等特征。另外线圈靶在带电粒子的约束和磁流体动力学研究等多方面也得到了应用。

The influence of second-order dispersion (SOD) on stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in the interaction of an ultrashort intense laser with plasma was investigated. More significant backward SRS was observed with the increase of the absolute value of SOD ($\mid \kern-1pt\!{\psi}_2\!\kern-1pt\mid$). The integrated intensity of the scattered light is positively correlated to the driver laser pulse duration. Accompanied by the side SRS, filaments with different angles along the laser propagation direction were observed in the transverse shadowgraph. A model incorporating Landau damping and above-threshold ionization was developed to explain the SOD-dependent angular distribution of the filaments.

为了提升超热电子的准直输运效率,提出了锥口多层靶模型,并通过二维PIC(particle-in-cell)模拟手段研究了强激光与锥口多层靶相互作用过程中超热电子的产生和输运特性。研究结果表明,相比于无锥结构的多层靶,锥口多层靶中输运的超热电子数目更多、能量更高且空间分布也更加集中,发散角被控制在-38°~38°之间的超热电子能量约增加了0.6倍,锥口多层靶能够提升超热电子的准直输运效率。锥口多层靶中超热电子准直输运效率提升的原因主要有三个方面:激光从锥壁上拉出了大量超热电子、锥壁对激光的聚焦作用增强了激光有质动力以及锥顶后方产生了较强的自生磁场分布。本文建立的模型对于提升“快点火”中超热电子的束品质具有重要意义。

Thanks to a rapid progress of high-power lasers since the birth of laser by T. H. Maiman in 1960, intense lasers have been developed mainly for studying the scientific feasibility of laser fusion. Inertial confinement fusion with an intense laser has attracted attention as a new future energy source after two oil crises in the 1970s and 1980s. From the beginning, the most challenging physics is known to be the hydrodynamic instability to realize the spherical implosion to achieve more than 1000 times the solid density. Many studies have been performed theoretically and experimentally on the hydrodynamic instability and resultant turbulent mixing of compressible fluids. During such activities in the laboratory, the explosion of supernova SN1987A was observed in the sky on 23 February 1987. The X-ray satellites have revealed that the hydrodynamic instability is a key issue to understand the physics of supernova explosion. After collaboration between laser plasma researchers and astrophysicists, the laboratory astrophysics with intense lasers was proposed and promoted around the end of the 1990s. The original subject was mainly related to hydrodynamic instabilities. However, after two decades of laboratory astrophysics research, we can now find a diversity of research topics. It has been demonstrated theoretically and experimentally that a variety of nonlinear physics of collisionless plasmas can be studied in laser ablation plasmas in the last decade. In the present paper, we shed light on the recent 10 topics studied intensively in laboratory experiments. A brief review is given by citing recent papers. Then, modeling cosmic-ray acceleration with lasers is reviewed in a following session as a special topic to be the future main topic in laboratory astrophysics research.
