Description
Strong Field Physics: Ultra-intense Light Interaction With Matter provides an in-depth examination of the physics that emerges when matter encounters extraordinarily intense electromagnetic fields. Written by renowned physicist Todd Ditmire, this Cambridge University Press publication explores the nonlinear phenomena that occur when laser intensities reach levels where the electric field strength becomes comparable to atomic fields.
The book covers essential topics including ionization processes, harmonic generation, and relativistic effects in ultra-intense laser-matter interactions. It addresses both theoretical frameworks and experimental methodologies, making it suitable for graduate students and researchers in physics and optical sciences. The text discusses applications ranging from high-energy physics to novel light sources and particle acceleration.
With rigorous mathematical treatment and comprehensive coverage of recent developments in the field, this resource serves as both an authoritative reference and a pedagogical tool for understanding extreme nonlinear optics and plasma physics.
