Laser second-harmonic generation from an overdense plasma slab

Second-harmonic generation from hyperbolic plasmonic nanorod metamaterial slab

Hyperbolic plasmonic metamaterials provide numerous opportunities for designing unusual linear and nonlinear optical properties. We show that the modal overlap of fundamental and second-harmonic light in an anisotropic plasmonic metamaterial slab results in the broadband enhancement of radiated second-harmonic intensity by up to 2 orders of magnitudes for TMand TE-polarized fundamental light co...

Towards efficient generation of attosecond pulses from overdense plasma targets

Theoretical studies and computer simulations predict efficient generation of attosecond electromagnetic pulses from overdense plasma targets, driven by relativistically strong laser pulses. These predictions need to be validated in time resolved experiments in order to provide a route for applications. The first available femtosecond sources for these experiments are likely to be 10 fs pulses o...

Second-Harmonic Generation of Laser Radiation in a Plasma with a Density Ripple

High-power laser radiation with frequency u>i and wave vector ktz propagating through a plasma at an angle to a density ripple (0, fco) produces current and density perturbation at (u>i ,ki + ko). The density perturbation couples with the oscillatory velocity at (wi, fci) to produce nonlinear current at [2^'1.(2 A-1 + k0)] driving second-harmonic electromagnetic radiation. For a specific value ...
