Ultrafast laser-plasma interactions in air at high laser repetition rates >> 100 kHz

Project Description:

This project focuses on investigating ultrafast laser-plasma interactions in air at high laser repetition rates exceeding 100 kHz. Using high-power ultrafast laser systems, plasma filaments will be generated and characterized in gases. The project combines experimental work with numerical simulations and includes the development of new diagnostic methods for plasma characterization.

Task List:

• Experimental Setup and Implementation:
• Implementation and calibration of plasma diagnostic methods:
• Numerical Modeling and Simulation:
• Collaborations and Partnerships:
• Data Analysis and Documentation:
