Abstract

A design for the phase-adjusted plate for a phase-adjustment focusing laser accelerator is presented based on the general theory of the amplitude-phase retrieval problem and taking into consideration the more practical case where the incident laser beam is inclined to the axis of the cylindrical accelerator. To demonstrate this design approach, a specifically simulated design is achieved using the appropriate parameters involving the phase-adjustment focusing laser accelerator. The calculated results show that this design is successful.
