Course content
The discipline "High Intensity Physics" is the final in the cycle of disciplines that study the generation, propagation and interaction of laser radiation with matter. The discipline focuses on generalizing students' knowledge in applied and technical aspects of the use of high-intensity laser radiation sources. In particular, significant attention is paid to various types of laser sources in the terahertz, infrared, visible, ultraviolet and X-ray ranges. The discipline considers practical aspects of the use of pulsed radiation to study physical processes induced by high-intensity ultrashort laser pulses in solids, gases and liquids. In particular, laser acceleration of electrons and filamentation processes in gases, photoinduced ultrafast phase transitions in solids, etc. The program consists of three sections (topics): Topic 1. Generalization of physical processes necessary for the construction of high-intensity laser radiation sources. Topic 2. Technical aspects of the implementation of ultrafast laser sources of different spectral ranges. Topic 3. Experimental methods for the application of high-intensity ultrafast pulsed radiation
