Shock waves generated by intense femtosecond lasers

The advent of intense femtosecond lasers has created the exciting possibility of accessing regimes of extreme high pressure using a relatively small laser system. This stems from the lack of significant hydrodynamic expansion during the process of laser deposition in a solid via skin-depth absorp...
