Isolated attosecond pulses are essential tools used in the time-resolved studies of some of the fastest electronic processes in atoms, molecules and solids. These pulses are synthesized from high-order harmonics generated in inert gases by intense, femtosecond laser pulses. During this process an attosecond pulse is generated in every half-cycle of the laser pulse, thus forming an attosecond...
A relativistic flying mirror is breaking wake wave excited in tenuous plasma by an intense, short laser pulse. This highly nonlinear wave has a singularity of electron density and has a velocity nearly equals to the speed of light. Thus the electrons can work as a partially reflecting mirror moving nearly at the speed of light. This concept was first proposed by Bulanov et al. So far some of...
In this report would be presented a short overview of the recent research activities in the field of laser physics and applications of the Institute of Electronics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IE-BAS).
The Institute was established in 1963 as a non-profit state organization conducting research, education and dissemination of scientific knowledge in the fields of physical electronics,...
