The Interaction of High-Power Lasers with Plasmas provides a
thorough self-contained discussion of the physical processes
occurring in laser-plasma interactions, including a detailed review
of the relevant plasma and laser physics. The book analyzes laser
absorption and propagation, electron transport, and the relevant
plasma waves in detail. It also discusses the physics of the
electric and magnetic fields in a laser-induced plasma medium,
laser-induced shock waves, rarefaction waves, heat waves, and the
related hydrodynamic instabilities (Rayleigh-Taylor,
Richtmyer-Meshkov, and Kelvin-Helmholtz).
A pedagogical presentation, the book addresses the basic physics
issues from first principles, using simple models wherever
appropriate. The coverage provides a foundation on which the
graduate student can build an understanding of the past and present
research in this field. For the experienced researcher, the book is
a comprehensive and useful presentation of laser-plasma
interactions.
