Laser wakefield acceleration(LWFA)promises compact accelerators toward the high-energy frontier.However,the approach to the 100 GeV milestone faces the obstacle of the long focal length required for optimal acceleration with high-power lasers,which reaches hundreds of meters for 10-100 PW lasers.The long focal length originates from optimal laser intensity required to avoid nonlinear effects and hence large spot size and Rayleigh length.We propose a"telescope"geometry in which a micro-plasma parabola(MPP)is coupled with a short-focal-length off-axis parabola,minimizing the focal length to the meter range for LWFA under optimized conditions driven by lasers beyond 1 PW.Full-dimensional kinetic simulations demonstrate the generation of a 9 GeV electron bunch within only 1 m optical length—only one-tenth of that required with the conventional approach with the same performance.The proposed MPP provides a basis for the construction of compact LWFAs toward single-stage 100 GeV acceleration with 100 PW class lasers.
