Four-channel prototype using coherent combining of ultrashort laser pulses for dipole configuration approximation

This paper presents a four-channel prototype system for the geometric combining and coherent addition of tightly focused femtosecond laser radiation into a standing-wave field configuration. A stabilization system for beam pointing and relative phase of the four optical channels has been implemented, and its performance has been experimentally demonstrated. To characterize the standing-wave electromagnetic field distribution at the main focus of the system, an original measurement technique based on a fiber subwavelength optical probe has been employed. This work has been conducted in support of the exawatt-scale XCELS project.

Modelling proton transfer in water molecule chains

The process of protons transport in molecular water chains is of fundamental interest for many biological systems. Although many features of such systems can be analyzed using large-scale computational modeling, other features are better understood in terms of simplified model problems. Here we have tested, analytically and numerically, a model describing the classical proton hopping process in molecular water chains. In order to capture the main features of the proton hopping process in such molecular chains, we use a simplified model for our analysis. In particular, our discrete model describes a 1D chain of water molecules situated in an external protein channel structure, and each water molecule is allowed to oscillate around its equilibrium point in this system, while the protons are allowed to move along the line of neighboring oxygen atoms. The occurrence and properties of nonlinear solitary transport structures, allowing for much faster proton transport, are discussed, and the possible implications of these findings for biological systems are emphasized.
