  • 1D Vlasov simulations to study the crystal's behavior.
  • Particle-in-cell simulations to predict laser pulse reflection and transmission.

    • Main Results:

    • A strong density grating is formed by electrons and ions in plasma.
    • The crystal's lifetime is limited by ion ballistic motion.
    • The photonic crystal demonstrates robustness for manipulating high-intensity laser pulses.
    • Simulations predict tunable mirror behavior for intense laser pulses.

    Conclusions:

    • Transient plasma photonic crystals are a viable new technology for high-power lasers.
    • These crystals can effectively manipulate intense laser pulses.
    • The demonstrated 1D configuration can be extended to 2D and 3D.
