Strong field laser physics investigates the interaction between intense laser pulses and matter, a domain where non-linear phenomena such as multiphoton absorption, tunnelling ionisation, and ...

Recent advances in ultrafast laser technology have enabled precise interrogation of molecular dynamics on timescales down to tens of femtoseconds. This field investigates how strong laser fields ...

A team of physicists from the University of Ottawa have developed a new theoretical model that shines new light on how scientists understand the way lasers interact with dense matter, such as solids ...

Using intense X-rays, researchers captured a buckyball as it expanded, split and shed electrons under strong laser fields. Detailed scattering measurements showed how the molecule behaves at low, ...

A laser light beam passes between a loudspeaker-reflector array that creates a grating of air. The laser beam interacts with this grating and is deflected without contact. Using a novel method, beams ...

The understanding of complex many-body dynamics in laser-driven polyatomic molecules is crucial for any attempt to steer chemical reactions by means of intense light fields. Ultrashort and intense ...

Guiding lasers where they need to go is a key part of optics systems, and now engineers at DESY have developed a way to bend laser beams without anything touching them. The light is deflected using an ...
