Capturing the three dimensional, nano-scale, pico-second dynamics of plasma mirrors with intense ultrashort laser wavefront measurement
arXiv:2505.02403
Abstract
We present a direct measurement of the nanoscale dynamics of plasma mirrors using wavefront measurement techniques. This two-dimensional measurement, performed via pump-probe diagnostics, enables the reconstruction of the three-dimensional plasma mirror surface with nanometer axial, micrometer transverse, and femtosecond temporal resolution.
