Abstract
With high intensity femtosecond lasers it is possible to create plasmas with near solid densities. Such plasmas can bring valuable informations on the dynamics of dense hot solids. They also appear very promising as sources of sub-picosecond X-Ray pulses. The availability of such X-Ray bursts can have a significant impact in the field of Plasma and Solid State Physics. We will review some recent experiments performed at L.O.A. in order to obtain a better understanding of femtosecond laser-matter interaction. Experiments have been performed with time-resolved optical pump and probe techniques and with X-Ray diagnostics.
