By analytical modeling and numerical simulation, we show that surface modes in moderately overdense plasmas may be excited parametrically by an intense, ultrashort laser pulse. This process has a feedback effect on fast electron generation and may seed a fast distortion of plasma “moving mirrors.”

Abstract Ultrafast (or ultrashort) pulsed laser ablation of biological tissue has drawn much attention due to the minimal collateral damage caused by laser irradiation. Many clinical applications of ultrafast laser ablation have been proposed, including ophthalmology, dentistry, and neurosurgery (Kim et al., 1998). During ultrafast laser interaction with biological tissues, which are dielectric materials, multiphonon absorption occurs which enhances the absorption of the laser beam in tissue. The tissue can then be heated rapidly to a high temperature, causing evaporation and tissue removal.

AbstractWe used X-ray spectroscopy as a diagnostic tool for investigating the properties of laser-cluster interactions at the stage in which non-adiabatic cluster expansion takes place and a quasi-homogeneous plasma is produced. The experiment was carried out with a 10 TW, 65 fs Ti:Sa laser focused on CO2 cluster jets. The effect of different laser-pulse contrast ratios and cluster concentrations was investigated. The X-ray emission associated to the Rydberg transitions allowed us to retrieve, through the density and temperature of the emitting plasma, the time after the beginning of the interaction at which the emission occurred. The comparison of this value with the estimated time for the “homogeneous” plasma formation shows that the degree of adiabaticity depends on both the cluster concentration and the pulse contrast. Interferometric measurements support the X-ray data concerning the plasma electron density.
