The development of femtosecond lasers brought entirely new possibilities into the practice of
timeresolved spectroscopy, for both UV-vis and IR-Raman spectroscopies. In addition, it has …

This book represents the first comprehensive treatment of the subject, covering the
theoretical principles, present experimental status and important applications of short-pulse …

The irradiation of the target surface by an ultrafast femtosecond (fs) laser pulse produces the
extreme non-equilibrium states of matter and subsequent phase transformations …

A collimated beam of fast protons, with energies as high as 1.5 MeV and total number of≳ 10
9, confined in a cone angle of 40±10 is observed when a high-intensity high-contrast …

Analogous to an assembly line, we employed a modular design for the high-throughput
study of 1,536 structurally distinct nanoparticles with cationic cores and variable shells. This …

The characteristics of 22–40 keV K α x-ray sources are measured. These high-energy
sources are produced by 100 TW and petawatt high-intensity lasers and will be used to …

We present a general expression for the maximum ion energy observed in experiments with
thin foils irradiated by high-intensity laser pulses. The analytical model is based on a radially …

The generation of femtosecond K α x rays from laser-irradiated plasmas is studied with a
view to optimizing photon number and pulse duration. Using analytical and numerical …

A precise knowledge of the temperature and number of hot electrons generated in the
interaction of short-pulse high-intensity lasers with solids is crucial for harnessing the energy …

Numerous experiments on laser-driven proton acceleration in the MeV range have been
performed with a large variety of laser parameters since its discovery around the year 2000 …
