Retrieving the excitation and polarization configurations in Coulomb explosion of a trimer driven by strong laser field.

Ultrafast imaging and manipulating transient molecular structures in chemical reactions and photobiological processes is a fundamental but challenging goal for scientists. Theoretically, the challenge originates from the complex multiple-time-scale correlated electron dynamics and their coupling with the nuclei. Here, we employ classical polyatomic models for this kind of study and take the Coulomb explosion of argon and neon trimers in strong laser fields as an illuminating example.

Effects of Involved Laser Photons on Radiation and Electron-Positron Pair Production in one Coherence Interval in Ultra Intense Lasers.

Electron radiation and γ photon annihilation are two of the major processes in ultra intense lasers (UIL). Understanding their behavior in one coherence interval (CI) is the basis for UIL-matter interaction researches. However, most existing analytic formulae only give the average over many CIs.

[Experimental study of soft X-ray radiation in the interaction of circularly polarized femtosecond-laser-pulse with low pressure xenon].

Using flat-field grating Spectrometer, the ions lines with wavelength between 5 and 60 nm were measured, which were produced by the interaction of circularly polarized 35 femtosecond ultraintense and ultrashort laser-pulse with 5 mm length xenon at the pressure 2 and 3 kPa respectively. The highest transition is the XeVIII: 4d10 5s(2 S1/2)--4d9 5s5p('P3/2) line at wavelength 17.0856 nm at 2 kPa and 3 kPa, the highest transition is 11.

[A measurement of optical emission from the rear surface with solid targets irradiated by ultrashort pulse laser].

The integrated image spectrum and scattering light spectrum of optical emission at normal direction from rear-side of a metallic foil were measured, employing optical CCD camera and OMA optical multi-channel spectrometer. The integrated image spectrum shows that it presents a ring-shape, and in the near margin of the ring-shape a bright localized signal is shown, which is optical transition radiation (OTR) generated by hot electrons transport through solid targets. The scattering spectrum shows that it presents a series of nonperiodic sharp spikes between 300-500 nm, and the sharp spike is ascribed to the coherent transition radiation (CTR) generated by bunches of hot electron beams generated in v x B acceleration mechanism near 400 nm (2 omega).
