🏵️Numerical Diffraction for High-Intensity Lasers plus AI Expansion

Accurately modeling the complex interaction of ultra-intense lasers with plasma, crucial for advancements in particle acceleration and fusion, requires precise understanding of electromagnetic fields at the laser focus. Traditional analytical methods often fail with non-ideal beams or tight focusing. Numerical diffraction, directly solving light propagation laws like Stratton-Chu integrals, provides a realistic picture of the laser field, revealing true intensity and polarization. This accuracy is vital for modeling Lorentz forces, nonlinear effects, optimizing experiments, and exploring advanced laser shaping, leading to a more precise understanding and control of laser-plasma interactions.
