Femtosecond physics with high power pulses

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The advent of high-power ultrashort pulses allows us to extend femtosecond experiments to new areas. Most femtosecond experiments use the short duration of the pulse to establish non-equilibrium initial conditions in a material. In a typical low-power experiment, the aim is to measure the transient response (e.g., the dynamics of a chemical reaction, or relaxation processes in a solid) using spectroscopic techniques. High-power plasma experiments can also measure the transient response.
