Femtosecond laser pulse energy self-stabilization
A photoconductive switch driving a Pockels cell ensures energy self-stabilization of ultra-fast laser pulses from single shot to hundreds of kHz. In this kind of stabilization, the pulse corrects itself. In a ...

High order harmonic generation by non-linear reflection of a pedestal-free intense laser pulse on a plasma
We demonstrate the influence of the prepulses and ASE of ultrashort pulses interacting with a solid target by addressing the direct comparison of the harmonic spectra generated by reflection onto a solid targe...

Femtosecond and picosecond laser microablation: ablation efficiency and laser microplasma expansion
Laser ablation efficiency and plasma plume expansion were studied using the interaction of Ti-Al2O3 laser pulses (wavelength 800 nm; energy 20 μJ; mode TEM00; waist diameter 11 μm; pulse durations 70 fs, 150 fs,...

Observation of ions with energies above 100 keV produced by the interaction of a 60-fs laser pulse with clusters
The x-ray spectra of a plasma generated by heating CO2 and Ar clusters with high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses with q las≃1018 W/cm2 are investigated. Spatially resolved x-ray spectra of a cluster plasma are...

Characteristic features of the x-ray spectra of a plasma produced by heating CO2 clusters by intense femtosecond laser pulses with λ=0.8 and 0.4 μm
The x-ray spectra of a plasma produced by heating CO2 clusters with intense femtosecond laser pulses with λ=0.8 μm and λ=0.4 μm are investigated. Spatially resolved x-ray spectra of the cluster plasma are obtaine...

Nondestructive Characterization of Thin Adhesive Bonds
Modem cyanoacrylate adhesives are very efficient and are used more and more often to bond materials like aluminium, steel or ceramics. One of the factors that hampers their use is the problem of reproducibilit...
