Abstract
We introduce a new utilization of an Aerodynamic Lens Stack (ALS) for concentrating aerosols in the production of high energy (>200 keV) electrons through their interaction with intense(\(>10^{16}\) W/cm\(^2\)), ultra-short (30 fs) laser pulses. The lens was designed and simulated in COMSOL with various parameters such as inlet dimensions and backing pressures. Subsequently, the particle jet was analyzed using particle streak velocimetry (PSV). Following the characterization process, the jet was exposed to the laser, and the emission of electrons was investigated and described. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of the lens in producing and focussing aerosols originating from liquid sources, underscoring its potential as a precise microtarget for laser interactions.
