Particle-in-cell simulation of plasma-based amplification using a moving window

Current high-power laser amplifiers use chirped-pulse amplification to prevent damage to their solid-state components caused by intense electromagnetic fields. To increase laser power further requires ever larger and more expensive devices. The Raman backscatter instability in plasma facilitates an...
