Nonlinear physics of laser - irradiated micro - clusters
Abstract A nonlinear theory has been developed to describe electron response and ion acceleration in dense clusters that are smaller in size than the laser wavelength. This work is motivated by high-intensity laser-cluster interaction experiments. The theory reveals that the breakdown of quasi-neutrality affects the cluster dynamics in a dramatic way: the laser can create a positively charged i...
متن کاملHigh-order harmonic generation in atom clusters.
We report the generation of short-wavelength, high-order harmonics of intense laser radiation from atom clusters. Clusters containing about 10 3 atoms are produced in a high-pressure gas jet. We show them to be a unique nonlinear medium. Compared with monomer gases they yield a higher appearance intensity for a given harmonic order, stronger nonlinear dependence of harmonic signal on laser inte...
متن کاملHigh-Order Harmonic Generation from Laser Ablation of Various Surfaces
The high-order harmonic generation in laser-produced plasma plumes can be useful for producing an efficient source of short-wavelength ultra-short pulses for various applications and studies of the properties of harmonic emitters. The laser ablation induced high-order harmonic generation spectroscopy is a newmethod for the studies of material science. We discuss the realization of new ideas, wh...
متن کاملHigh-harmonic generation in plasmas from relativistic laser-electron scattering
Results are presented on the generation of high harmonics through the scattering of relativistic electrons from high-intensity laser light. The characteristic signatures of this process are found to be the emission of evenorder harmonics, linear dependence on the electron density, significant amount of harmonics with circular polarization, and small spatial extent of the source. The harmonics a...
متن کاملRelativistic laser harmonic generation from plasmas with density ripple
A high intensity laser obliquely incident on an underdense plasma with density ripple produces resonant second and third-harmonic radiation in the reflected component. The highest efficiency of harmonic generation occurs when the pump laser is incident at critical angle and the angle between ripple wave vector q and the surface normal has a specific value / — /m, at which phase-matching conditi...
