Abstract

We investigate numerical effects related to “single-cycle” ionization of dense matter by an ultra-short laser pulse. The strongly nonadiabatic response of electrons leads to generation of a MG steady magnetic field in laser–solid interaction. By using two-beam interference, it is possible to create periodic density structures able to trap light and to generate relativistic ionization fronts.
