Figure | Both single-shot probing technique and modeling approach for revealing the ultrafast laser-induced solid-to-plasma transition

Caption

The ultrashort pump laser pulse interacts with a 10 nm-thick diamond-like carbon foil (DLC). The interaction region is illuminated with a probe laser pulse with a large optical spectrum, whose various colors arrive at different interaction times (temporal chirp). These time-delayed colors are transmitted through the target and diffracted using a grating, so that the transmission of each color, corresponding to a specific interaction time, can be captured by a camera. The computer simulation based on an advanced interaction model including both solid and plasma states can reproduce the measured transmission profiles.
