Resonance Enhancement in Laser-Produced Plasmas (Concepts and Applications) || Front Matter

摘要： The motivation in writing this book is to show the most recent findings of newly emerged field of resonance-enhanced high-order harmonic generation (HHG) using the laser pulses propagating through the narrow and extended laser-produced plasma plumes. It becomes obvious that the developments in this field are aimed for improvement of harmonic yield through precise study of resonance effects during fine-tuning of driving pulses to the resonances. The purpose of writing this book is to acquaint the readers with the most advanced, recently developed methods of plasma harmonics generation at the conditions of coincidence of some harmonics, autoionizing states, and some ionic transitions possessing strong oscillator strengths. This book demonstrates how one can improve the plasma harmonic technique using this approach.
