Abstract

The reflection of a relativistically intense short laser pulse upon oblique incidence on solid-state targets of various thickness and density to find the parameters of targets in which the reflected radiation contains several ultrashort pulses of durations up to hundreds of zeptoseconds is considered. These pulses are generated due to oscillations of the reflecting electron layer in the target at a relativistic speed. The minimum achievable time duration of an individual reflected pulse for the currently experimentally accessible range of laser intensities up to ~1023 W/cm2 and the possibility of separating ultrashort pulses from the total electromagnetic signal of the reflected pulse are investigated.
