Ultrafast laser-matter interaction with nanostructured targets

Conventional solid-density laser-plasma targets quickly ionize to make a plasma mirror, which largely reflects ultra-intense laser pulses. This Fresnel reflection at the plane boundary largely wastes our e orts at ultra-intense laser/solid interaction, and limits target heating to nonlinear generati...
