Abstract
Plasmas generated on glass targets by laser pulses of 80 fs duration with peak intensities around 1016 W/cm2 are studied by means of optical pump-probe techniques. Femtosecond time-resolved measurements of optical reflectivity and second harmonic generation reveal the dynamics of the formation of the plasma and of the subsequent plasma expansion.
