A key challenge in modelling laser-driven strongly-coupled plasmas is to properly resolve both microscopic and macroscopic phenomena. Atomic collision processes require angstrom spatial resolution, whereas the macroscopic length scale is determined by the wavelength of the incident light. For example, modelling the complete dynamics of a near-infrared laser pulse driving a solid-density plasma...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
Transient free electron plasma is created during the leading edge of an intense ultrafast laser pulse irradiation of a material. Subsequent interaction of this plasma with the rest of the incident light is often ignored in laser processing of materials. We will show that light-plasma interaction plays an important role resulting in polarization dependent features both on the surface and inside...
