    Ion acceleration in ultra-high contrast regime

    In this work, we demonstrate that the contrast of high intensity laser pulses is a key issue for many problems dealing with high-field interaction with solid-density matter. As an example, we will discuss the ...

    High-order harmonic generation from plasma mirrors

    We discuss the two mechanisms involved in high-order harmonic generation from plasma mirrors, and show that they can be clearly identified experimentally. The very different phase properties of the correspondi...

    Coherent dynamics of plasma mirrors

    Emission coherence is crucial to the potential of future X-ray sources based on high-order harmonic generation from laser-driven plasmas. Contrary to expectations, coherent emission is possible, but only if th...

    Plasma mirrors for ultrahigh-intensity optics

    Specular reflection is one of the most fundamental processes of optics. At moderate light intensities generated by conventional light sources this process is well understood. But at those capable of being prod...

    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...
