Objective

The goal of this project is the generation of super-intense laser intensities up to 1020ÊW/cm{2} and the study of the interaction with matter of the associated super-strong high electric fields. The study will be directed along two guidelines.

First, an investigation of absorption and scattering mechanisms of subpicosecond laser radiation in condensed medium at intensities of 1017 - 1020 W/cm{2}. The theoretical approach will be conducted by the NIS team with help from the German team. Results will be compared with experimental observations obtained on the experiments driven by the Coordinator at the Laboratory for Applied Optics.

Second, an investigation of the X-rays emitted from the plasma in the supra-kilovolt energy range and determination of the possibility to produce a soft X-ray plasma laser.
