The stored image can be completely reconstructed even though the probe wavelength is very different from the recording one. The large spectral width of the polychromatic probe beam also causes adverse effect on the storage density. But this can be overcomed if an additional optical component is inserted in the imaging system. Therefore, PCR has a great potential to achieve nondestructive readout and large storage density simultaneously. In addition, PCR enables us to design a simple memory system because its readout tolerance is quite large as compared to the conventional monochromatic readout. Unique and attractive features of the polychromatic reconstruction method was theoretically and experimentally demonstrated.展开更多

Two dimensional particle-in-cell simulations show that, when the first laser pulse propagates in the cylinder, electrons are extracted out of the cylinder inner wall and accelerated to high energies. These energetic electrons later run into the second counter-propagating laser pulse, radiating a large amount of high-energy gamma photons via the Compton back-scattering process. The emitted gamma photons then collide with the second laser pulse to initiate the Breit-Wheeler process for pairs production. Due to the strong self-generated fields in the cylinder, positrons are confined in the channel to form dense pair plasmas. Totally, the maximum density of pair plasmas can be 4.60 × 10^27 m%-3, for lasers with an intensity of 4 × 10^22 W.cm^-2. Both the positron yield and density are tunable by changing the cylinder radius and the laser parameters. The generated dense pair plasmas can further facilitate investigations related to astrophysics and particle physics.展开更多
