In this paper, we study the electronic and ionic dynamics of the water dimer subject to short and intense laser pulses. The dynamics is described by means of the time-dependent local-density approximation coupled to ionic molecular dynamics (TDLDA-MD) non-adiabatically. The impact of laser frequency on the response of water dimer is discussed by exploring the ionization, the dipole signal and bond lengths of water dimer. Furthermore, it is found that the water donor is more sensitive to the laser field than the water acceptor and the probabilities for the ionic states show the general pattern of the typical sequence of the interlaced production maxima.

In the framework of the time dependent local density approximation the harmonic generation of Na2 in ultrashort intense pulses is investigated. The coupling between harmonics and plasmons of Na 2 is discussed in detail with two laser frequencies 5.266 eV, which is double the resonance of the plasmon, and 1.124 eV, which is half the frequency of plasmons, and with two different peak intensities. One finds appearance of the third and the fifth harmonic generation at high ponderomotive potential.

AbstractThe acceleration of electrons by very intense lasers in vacuum is studied for different forms of laser pulses: finite plane and three-dimensional laser pulses. The latter case is treated by introducing an approximation of the laser frequency as a function of the Cartesian components of the wave number. Various examples which lead to high accelerations of electrons are given.

Recently, analysis and diagnosis based on laser technology is progressing rapidly by means of the advancement of the technology related to optics. It is remarkable that the technology using high intensisty laser pulses, e.g. nanosecond to femtosecond laser pulses, has advanced. Using intense laser pulses gives high industrial advantages. However, there are few reports to investigate the relation between laser pulses and liquid. In this research, we investigate the influence of the local temperature distribution generated in applications that utilized cw-laser. Furthermore, we discussed the transient lens effect that is based on the interaction between light, material and temperature field experimentally and theoretically.

ABSTRACTWe present an ab–initio molecular dynamics study of the modifications induced on fullerite by the irradiation with ultrashort very intense laser pulses. We identified the threshold for the non–thermal cage–opening of the C60 molecules which is the analogue of the laserinduced non–thermal melting observed in semiconductors and graphite. The new phase formed by the non–thermal coalescence of the C60 molecules is fluid–like and mainly formed by small chains of 2–fold coordinated carbon atoms.

Abstract Optics manufacturing technology is predicted to play a major role in the future production of integrated photonic circuits. One of the major drawbacks in the realization of photonic circuits is the damage of optical materials by intense laser pulses. Here, we report on the preparation of a series of organic–inorganic hybrid photoresists that exhibit enhanced laser-induced damage threshold. These photoresists showed to be candidates for the fabrication of micro-optical elements (MOEs) using three-dimensional multiphoton lithography. Moreover, they demonstrate pattern ability by nanoimprint lithography, making them suitable for future mass production of MOEs.

AbstractA new concept of generating tight bunches of electrons accelerated to high energies is proposed. The electrons are born via ionization of a low-density neutral gas by laser radiation, and the concept is based on the electrons acceleration in traps arising within the pattern of interference of several relativistically intense laser pulses with amplitude fronts tilted relative to their phase fronts. The traps move with the speed of light and (1) collect electrons; (2) compress them to extremely high density in all dimensions, forming electron bunches; and (3) accelerate the resulting bunches to energies of at least several GeV per electron. The simulations of bunch formation employ the Newton equation with the corresponding Lorentz force.
