Barty Group graduate student researchers Eric Nelson and Kyle Chesnut traveled to Jeju Island in South Korea to present their research at the 9th International Conference on Ultrahigh Intensity Lasers (ICUIL 2022). Eric’s poster, ‘Foci of Petawatt Class Space-Time Entangled Beams’, (bottom) examined how Petawatt laser facilities can shape their beams to explore new parameter spaces in high-field science. Kyle’s talk titled ‘Review of Chirped Pulse Juxtaposed with Beam Amplification as a Route to Exawatt Peak-power Lasers’ covered the design work done to date of a potential Exawatt peak-power laser to produce record focused laser intensity that would open new avenues of QED research. Kyle’s two posters, ‘Analysis of Higher-Order Phase Distortions from a Six-Grating Chirped-Beam Compressor for Exawatt-class CPJBA’ and ‘Multi-pass Regenerative Stretcher to Produce Simultaneously Spatially and Temporally Chirped Pulses’, the latter of which won a Student Poster Award, explored the details of two sub-systems of this laser.
