Probing the dynamics of plasma mirrors on the attosecond time scale
We demonstrate that the generation of high-order harmonics (HHG) of a laser on plasma mirrors preserves the coherence of the laser. We then exploit this coherence to study the dynamics of the plasma electrons.

Ultrafast Plasma Studies by Phase Measurements with Femtosecond Spectral Interferometry
Dual quadrature femtosecond spectral interferometry is used to measure the gradient length, the peak temperature, and collision frequencies around critical density of an ultra-short pulse laser-produced plasma.

Disorder in Solids Studied on an Ultrashort Timescale using Femtosecond X-Ray Diffraction
We’ve studied the sub-picosecond response of an organometallic Langmuir-Blodgett film to an ultrashort laser excitation using ultrafast time-resolved x-ray diffraction. The ultrafast and monochromatic Kα x-ray so...

Reflection and Transmission of High Intensity Femtosecond Laser Pulse Focused on Very Thin Plastic Foils
The 150 fs pulse of the LOA Ti:Sapphire laser has been focused at an intensity of 5×1017 W/cm2 on a 800Å plastic foil. The reflected and transmitted laser radiation resulted strongly affected by Self Phase Modula...

Influence of the Prepulse on the X-Ray Yield of a Subpicosecond Laser-Produced Plasma
The development of lasers delivering ultra-short pulses at the multigigawatt power level opens new perspectives for the study of laser-matter interaction at very high intensities. When an intense ultra-short p...
