Ultrafast-intense laser science: introduction for young scientists

This book features tutorial-like chapters on ultrafast intense laser science by world-leading scientists who are active in the rapidly developing interdisciplinary research field. It is written to give a comprehensive survey of all the essential aspects of ultrafast intense laser science. The volume covers theories of atoms and molecules in intense laser fields, quantum emission and applications, multiphoton microscopy, ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy, high intensity physics scaled to long wavelength, pulse shaping techniques, non-linear optics in the XUV region, filamentation, and ultraintense-laser matter interaction. Currently only textbook on ultrafast intense lasers Covers the basics as well as up-to-date developments in ultrafast intense laser science Integrates basic physics and applications Both a study text for graduate students and a reference work for researchers INDICE: Introduction to Atomic and Molecular Dynamics in Intense Fields I.- Introduction to Atomic and Molecular Dynamics in Intense Fields II.- Foundation of Strong-Field Physics I.- Foundation of Strong-Field Physics II.- High Intensity Physics Scaled to Long Wavelengths.- How Do Molecules Behave in Intense Laser Fields?: Theoretical Aspects.- Pulse Shaping of Femtosecond Laser Pulses and its Application for Molecule Control.- Nonlinear Interaction of Strongxuv Field With Atoms and Mlecules.- Ultrafast X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Using Femtosecond Laser-Driven X-rays.- Quantum Emission and its Application toMaterials Dynamics.- Filamentation Nonlinear Optics.- Diagnosing Intense and Ultraintense Laser-Matter Interactions: Status and Future Requirements.
