Short-pulse laser-plasma interactions

<p>This thesis deals with several theoretical aspects of the interaction of an intense femtosecond laser pulse with a plasma. A mechanism for the enhancement of the collisional absorption of light at high intensities is described, involving the direct excitation of collective modes of the pla...
