  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Electromagnetic pulse generation by sub-nanosecond kilojoule laser pulses

    Speaker: Jakub Cikhardt (Czech Technical University)The interaction of a focused high-power laser with matter results in the generation of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). In the case of terawatt and petawatt lasers, the intensity of the EMP is strong enough to interfere with diagnostic signals and may cause malfunction or distortion of electronic devices. Moreover, the […]
