Four-wave mixing in plasma at ultra-high laser intensity
Catherine Lefebvre
Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique
I received a joint Ph.D. in theoretical chemistry (University Laval, Canada) and inmolecular physics (University Paris-Sud 11, France) during which I modeled the vibrational dynamics in intense laser eld, based on dynamics of Floquet resonances. Motivated to deepen my knowledge in theoretical chemistry, I was subsequently postdoctoral research fellow at the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Laboratory (University of Sherbrooke, Canada) where I studied nuclear and electron dynamics in polyatomic molecules induced by ultrashort and intense pulses for high-order harmonic generation spectroscopy. I then wanted to apply my theoretical knowledge of laser-matter interaction on experimental laser spectroscopy and became postdoctoral research fellow at the Canadian Space Agency (Canada) during which I worked on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the elemental composition of minerals developing algorithms based on artificial neural networks. After a year of postdoctoral research at the Terawatt Laboratory (INRS-EMT, Canada), also affiliated with the Institute for QuantumComputing (University of Waterloo, Canada), I am now research associate. I am particularly involved in the development of numerical models, based on highly parallel computing, and the planning of experiments on tunneling e ffect in atoms, molecules and condensed matter.
Abstract
The investigation of ultra-strong laser-matter interactions is now possible thanks to major recent development in laser technology. Using high numerical aperture parabolic mirror to focus the laser beam on a microscopic focal... [ view full abstract ]
