    Enhanced ion acceleration with extremely thin foils

    Enhanced backward-acceleration of ions is experimentally observed when ultra-short, high-intensity and ultra-high-contrast laser pulses interact with thin foils having thicknesses in the order of the penetrati...

    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 ...

    X-ray spectroscopic diagnostics of ultrashort laser-cluster interaction at the stage of the nonadiabatic scattering of clusters

    X-ray spectroscopic diagnostics of laser-cluster interaction at the stage of nonadiabatic scattering of clusters and formation of a spatially uniform plasma channel has been performed. The experimental investi...

    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...

    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...

    Front- and rear-face X-ray emission from laser-irradiated Al foils

    We studied theK-shell X-ray emission from plasmas produced by laser irradiation of Al foils. Electron temperature and density of the emitting region were estimated from line ratio measurements. Spectra obtained f...
