We report the first experimental demonstration of a laser-driven circularly polarized soft-x-ray
laser chain. It has been achieved by seeding a 32.8 nm Kr ix plasma amplifier with a high …

The most recent light sources, extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray free electron lasers
(FELs), have extended tabletop laser experiments to shorter wavelengths, adding element …

We investigate the dynamics of cavity-free lasing from neutral nitrogen molecules in
femtosecond laser filaments. An important difference of intensity and temporal duration is …

Don Luckey in his seminal 1980 book wrote that an added, annual, cumulative ionizing
radiation dose of about 20 times the mean background dose would be optimal for health [1] …

High-harmonic generation (HHG) of laser radiation has led to attosecond pulse formation
which offers unprecedented temporal resolution in observing and controlling electron and …

Irradiation of a medium by short intense pulses from x-ray (XUV) free-electron lasers can
result in saturated photoionization of inner electronic shells. As a result an inversion of …

An approach for studying atom-radiation interaction has been developed, associating
quantum operators with stochastic variables governed by discrete Heisenberg equations …

We report on a theoretical study of cavity-free lasing of neutral nitrogen molecules in
femtosecond laser filaments with a nonadiabatic Maxwell-Bloch model, compared with …

Abstract High Order Harmonics are a powerful tool to unveil the inner dynamics of plasmas
by studying their propagation. However, being the plasma an inhomogeneous medium, it is …
