Ganeev R.A. Frequency Conversion of Ultrashort Pulses in Extended Laser-Produced Plasmas

Springer, Singapore, 2016, 221 pages, ISBN: 978-981-10-0193-2, 978-981-10-0194-9Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics 89The goal of this book is to show the most recent findings of newly emerged field of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) of laser radiation in the extended laser-produced plasma plumes. Ablation targets for HHG differ from the conventional gas targets used for harmonic generation in a number of ways. They are usually preformed plasmas with a density distribution that is determined by the ablation dynamics and subsequent evolution of plasma, which depend on the target composition and ablation pulse parameters in a complex way. In this connection, I would like to say a few words about different methods of generation of the coherent short-wavelength radiation using HHG approach.Introduction.
