We present time-resolved coincidence imaging of F2− photodissociation by 400nm and intense 800nm ultrafast pulses. Coincidence fragment imaging reveals parallel and perpendicular single photon dissociation on 2Σg+ and 2πg states, and additional intense-field dissociation features.

Vision is usually assumed to be sensitive to the light intensity and spectrum but not to its spectral phase. However, experiments performed on retinal proteins in solution showed that the first step of vision consists in an ultrafast photoisomerization that can be coherently controlled by shaping the phase of femtosecond laser pulses, especially in the multiphoton interaction regime. The link between these experiments in solution and the biological process allowing vision was not demonstrated. Here, we measure the electric signals fired from the retina of living mice upon femtosecond multipulse and single-pulse light stimulation. Our results show that the electrophysiological signaling is sensitive to the manipulation of the light excitation on a femtosecond time scale. The mechanism relies on multiple interactions with the light pulses close to the conical intersection, like pump-dump (photoisomerization interruption) and pump-repump (reverse isomerization) processes. This interpretation is supported both experimentally and by dynamics simulations.

In this paper the heat transfer process between laser beam and a solid body is investigated in the context of the protective materials, which can be used in the military, manufacturing or scientific fields. An ultra-fast high-power interaction regime is being considered. Non-Fourier effects are taken into account. To simulate effects, which can be of significance in the protective materials design, Cattaneo-Vernotte equation is being solved by means of MacCormack explicit second order numerical scheme. Selected results are discussed in detail.
