Nonlinear Optics in Laser Ablation Plasmas

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 274))

Abstract

This chapter describes current research on the nonlinear optical response , specifically low-order harmonic generation, of nanosecond laser ablation plumes of solid targets. The spatiotemporal control of the driving laser with respect to the position and time of the ablation event allows for the differentiation of distinct populations of species and enables the in situ diagnosis of complex ablation plume environments.
