It has been shown that in the scattered radiation, generated by an ultrashort laser pulse impinging on a metal nano-layer, non-oscillatory wake-fields appear with a definite sign. The magnitude of these wake-fields is proportional with the…
The reflection and transmission of a few-cycle Ti:Sa laser pulse iminging on a thin plasma layer have been analysed on the basis of classical electrodynamics. An approximate analytic solution has been given for the coupled Maxwell-Lorentz…
The reflection and transmission of a few-cycle laser pulse impinging on two parallel thin metal layers have been analyzed. The two layers, with a thickness much smaller than the skin depth of the incoming radiation field, are represented by…
We predict that a metal nanofilm subjected to an ultrashort (single oscillation) optical pulse of a high field amplitude $\sim 3 \mathrm{V/\AA}$ at normal incidence undergoes an ultrafast (at subcycle times $\lesssim 1 \mathrm{fs}$)…
We present a significantly different reflection process from an optically thin flat metallic or dielectric layer and propose a strikingly simple method to form approximately unipolar half-cycle optical pulses via reflection of a…
We investigate the excitation of electrostatic wakefields in metallic nanostructures (nanowires) due to the propagation of a short electron pulse. For that purpose, a dispersive (nonlocal) dielectric response of the system is considered,…
We demonstrate a silicon-based, single-layer anti-reflection coating that suppresses the reflectivity of metals at near-infrared frequencies, enabling optical probing of nano-scale structures embedded in highly reflective surroundings. Our…
We apply the coupled dynamics of time-dependent density functional theory and Maxwell equations to the interaction of intense laser pulses with crystalline silicon. As a function of electromagnetic field intensity, we see several regions in…
The wake field excitation in an unmagnetized plasma by a multi-petawatt, femtosecond, pancake-shaped laser pulse is described both analytically and numerically in the regime with ultrarelativistic electron jitter velocities, when the plasma…
Attosecond bursts of coherent synchrotron-like radiation are found when driving ultrathin relativistic electron disks in a quasi-one-dimensional regime of wakefield acceleration, in which the laser waist is larger than the wake wavelength.…
The impacts of the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of a long relativistic tightly-focused laser pulse on the dynamics of a counter-propagating electron beam have been investigated in the, so-called, electron reflection regime, requiring the…
Semiconductor lasers with ultra-low thresholds and minimal footprints are a topic of active research. Such devices require a combination of high quality factor laser cavities with small active region volumes, which drives the quest for…
We investigate the interaction of tightly focused light with the surface-plasmon-polariton resonances of metal nanospheres. In particular, we compute the scattering and absorption ratios as well as transmission and reflection coefficients.…
We investigate the generation of twin $\gamma$ ray beams in collision of an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse with a laser wakefield accelerated electron beam by using particle-in-cell simulation. We consider the composed target of a…
We theoretically investigate the interaction of near-infrared few cycle laser pulses of moderate intensity with nano-scale metal tips. Macroscopic field enhancement leads to coherent electron emission from the tip apex. Electron spectra are…
Sharp metallic nanotapers irradiated with few-cycle laser pulses are emerging as a source of highly confined coherent electron wavepackets with attosecond duration and strong directivity. The possibility to steer, control or switch such…
The effects of ultra-short laser pulses on reactive Ti/Al nano-layered thin film were investigated. The thin film composed of alternated titanium and aluminium nano-layers, was deposited by ion-sputtering. Single pulse irradiation was…
The optical response of nickel is studied in a wide range of laser fluence, below and above the ablation threshold, by selfreflectivity measurements of ultrashort 800nm single laser pulses. At the ablation threshold, the reflectivity…
Many fundamental processes of structural changes at surfaces occur on a pico- or femtosecond time scale. In order to study such ultra-fast processes, we have combined modern surface science techniques with fs-laser pulses in a pump-probe…
Transient surface electric fields induced by femtosecond laser irradiation of an aluminum film were investigated directly by ultrashort electron pulses. At pump intensities of 2.9~7.1 * 10^10 W/cm2, the transient electric fields last at…
