Investigations of short-pulse ultraviolet laser interactions with gas targets
This thesis presents investigations of interactions of a 380 fs, 248.6 nm KrF laser beam focused to intensities up to 10<sup>18</sup> W/cm<sup>2</sup> with gas targets of Helium and Neon. At these intensities, the targets are rapidly ionised by the process of optical field io...
