Researchers Demonstrate Feasibility of Using Plasma to Amplify Short Laser Pulses

The researchers demonstrated the feasibility of using plasma to amplify short laser pulses of picojoule-level energy up to 100 millijoules, which is a ‘gain’ or amplification of more than eight orders of magnitude – which could be likened to amplifying the sound of rustling leaves to that of a jumbo jet - in only two mm of plasma.
