{"product_id":"short-pulse-laser-interactions-with-paul-gibbon-9781860941351","title":"Short Pulse Laser Interactions with Matter: An Introduction","description":"This book represents the first comprehensive treatment of the subject, covering the theoretical principles, present experimental status and important applications of short-pulse laser-matter interactions.Femtosecond lasers have undergone dramatic technological advances over the last fifteen years, generating a whole host of new research activities under the theme of \"ultrafast science\". The focused light from these devices is so intense that ordinary matter is torn apart within a few laser cycles. This book takes a close-up look at the exotic physical phenomena which arise as a result of this new form of \"light-matter\" interaction, covering a diverse set of topics including multiphoton ionization, rapid heatwaves, fast particle generation and relativistic self-channeling. These processes are central to a number of exciting new applications in other fields, such as microholography, optical particle accelerators and photonuclear physics.Repository for numerical models described in Chapter 6 can be found at www.fz-juelich.de\/zam\/cams\/plasma\/SPLIM\/.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Gibbon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1860941354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781860941351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Imperial College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.88w x 0.90d","brand":"Paul Gibbon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43984427974911,"sku":"9781860941351","price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9f9c238-21dc-4aff-8030-31c256915476.jpg?v=1683272255","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/short-pulse-laser-interactions-with-paul-gibbon-9781860941351","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
