The interaction of intense few-cycle laser pulses with nanoscale targets

In this thesis I describe investigations of the interaction of strong laser fields with nanoscale targets, particularly with atomic clusters. I have explored laser-irradiated clusters in a new regime of interaction where the pulse duration approaches the few-cycle regime and the cluster ions essenti...
