X-RAY EMISSION FROM FEMTOSECOND LASER-PRODUCED PLASMAS

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Recent advances in ultrashort laser pulse technology have made possible the generation of subpicosecond optical pulses with peak intensities of the order of 1017 W/cm2 or more. The corresponding electrical field strengths are comparable with the fields experienced by the electrons in atomic orbitals. Since the times for energy and mass transport are generally longer than 10−13 s, very high energy density can be achieved for a short time by exciting materials with femtosecond pulses of high intensity, yet relatively small total energy. Thus the extremely high intensity and the ultrafast time scale of femtosecond laser pulses open up a new exciting field of light-matter interaction.1
