Project A5

Title: Controlled strong-field excitation of clusters and particles by shaped laser pulses
Project leader: PD Dr. Josef Tiggesbäumker (Rostock)
Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Meiwes-Broer (Rostock)
Abstract:

In project A5 the dynamical processes in the interaction of intense, ultrashort optical laser pulses with clusters and nanoparticles are studied. As new experimental tools, electrom-imaging as well as energy and momentum resolved ion spectroscopy are used to characterize the charged products of the violent excitation in detail. In addition, a new short wavelength spectrometer is build to cover the extended ultraviolet region. With this equipment a detailed comparision of the differnet decay channels becomes possible for example xray versus high harmonic radiation. Laser pulse tailoring will allow to optimize and control a specific emission. The results of the studies are compared to simulations which are subject of the projects A4, A6, and, A8.
