Abdurahim Rakhman Project Report
Direct Laser Acceleration (DLA) (1)
Completed:
Established a conceptual understanding of the DLA project
Production of radially polarized beam with fs laser (Ebeam up to 1mJ)
Finalized the parts list of gas system for DLA setup (waiting for the finalquotes from Swagelok & Praxair)

Direct Laser Acceleration (DLA) (2)
In Progress:
Setting up three Mightex cameras for DLA diagnostics with Labview
Currently configured for 2 cameras w/ live mode, trying to implement 3
Needs To Do:
1 Place an order for gas system parts this week
2 Finish the Labview control of three cameras w/ triggered mode
3 Identify the electronics module for motion control system used inside thevacuum chamber
4 Liquid crystal polarization converter test with ∼12 mJ, 30 fs pulses

UV Pulse Stretcher (UVS) (1)
Completed:
Established a conceptual understanding of the UVS project
Reproduced some of the simulation plots in the proposal
Created a preliminary design for a pulse stretcher based on the proposal

UV Pulse Stretcher (UVS) (2)
In Progress:
Trying to establish a beam propagation model based on the properties ofPalitra beam
Identifying the specs for optical/mechanical elements used in the stretcher
Needs To Do:
1 Elements to characterize the stretched pulse
2 Make a parts list for basic UVS system
3 Think of a way to reduce environmental damage caused by UV light
