The subject of ultra-short electromagnetic pulses and their interaction with matter is attracting increasing interest in both science and technology. This is due to their potential use in revealing transient features of physical phenomena and the probing of the particular electromagnetic and physical properties of all kinds of materials, and also results from the desire to progress the understanding of the photonic, electronic and magnetic behavior of small-scale systems. Furthermore, ultra-short laser pulses, producing high-density plasmas radiating at all wavelengths can lead to the development of novel techniques to be used in the physico-chemical investigation of biological and liquid media. The material contained in this volume will be of interest to postgraduate students and practitioners in the fields of engineering chemistry, biochemistry, nuclear and astrophysics and laser specialists.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Four lectures summarize the thirty-five years of research Eloy has been involved with at the Research-Centre of Strasbourg-Cronenbourg, the French Atomic Energy Agency, and the European Synchotron Radiation Facility. The organization of the lectures is based on the chronology of breakthroughs in electromagnetic sources capable of delivering ultra-short pulses of an electromagnetic beam at the limits of coherence in a wide frequency range. Aiming the material at postgraduate students and practicing engineers, Eloy discusses ultra- short electromagnetic pulse generation and interaction with matter, ultra-short laser-matter interactions, and interaction of ultra-short X-ray pulses with matter in context of the temporal aspects for a synchrotron radiation source." --Book News, Inc
