Using self-generated harmonics as a diagnostic of high intensity laser-produced plasmas

The interaction of high intensity laser pulses (up to I ∼ 1020 W cm-2) with plasmas can generate very high order harmonics of the laser frequency (up to the 75th order have been observed). Measurements of the properties of these harmonics can provide important insights into the plasma conditions whi...
