Abstract
The production of femtosecond optical pulses1 enables researchers to create electric fields with very high intensities comparable with atomic fields. The propagation of these intense laser pulses in underdense plasmas can lead to harmonic generations, wake-field effects, etc. The measuring of the wake-field intensity in plasmas has the utmost significance for comparison with theoretical predictions.2 Femtosecond lasers are also used for spectroscopic purposes in fast relaxations processes, energy transfer in complex molecules, etc.
