Heating of conduction-band electrons is one of the major processes of energy absorption
and transfer in high-intensity ultrafast laser–solid interactions. It is frequently simulated by …

Laser-induced high harmonic generation (HHG) in solids strongly depends on the band
structure of the target. In this work, we studied the band structure of bulk wurtzite ZnO under …

The interaction of ultrafast laser pulses and dielectric materials has been under intensive
research for improvement of laser induced damage of optics for high intensity lasers. A 2D …

A model based on optical Bloch equations is developed to describe the interaction of
femtosecond laser pulses with dielectric solids, accounting for optical-cycle-resolved …
