These processes are central to a number of exciting new applications in other fields, such as microholography, optical particle accelerators and photonuclear physics.
This book takes a close-up look at the exotic physical phenomena which arise as a result of this new form of "light-matter" interaction, covering a diverse set of topics including multiphoton ionization, rapid heatwaves, fast particle generation and relativistic self-channeling.
Femtosecond lasers have undergone dramatic technological advances over the last fifteen years, generating a whole host of new research activities under the theme of "ultrafast science." The focused light from these devices is so intense that ordinary matter is torn apart within a few Laser cycles.
