The interaction of ultrafast laser pulses of relativistic intensity with high aspect ratio
nanostructures can efficiently and volumetrically heat matter to an ultra-high-energy-density …

The excitation of surface plasma waves (SPW) by an intense short laser pulse is a useful
tool to enhance the laser absorption and the electron heating in the target. In this work, the …

The recent development of petawatt-class laser systems sets a focus on the development of
ultra-thin free-standing targets to access enhanced particle acceleration schemes vital for …

High field surface plasmons have recently attracted attention in producing the ultracompact
sources electron accelerators and intense XUV sources via High order Harmonic …

In this paper, we discuss temporal optical phenomena in a gas of Rydberg atoms, which can
take place in the presence of varying quasi-static electric fields and control laser beams …
