Few-Femtosecond Dynamics of Free-Free Opacity in Optically Heated Metals

Interaction of light with an excited free-electron gas is a fundamental process spanning a large variety of fields in physics. The advent of femtosecond laser pulses and extreme-ultraviolet sources allowed one to put theoretical models to the test. Recent experimental and theoretical investigations...
