Abstract
Recently, it has become feasible to apply high intensity optics for the development of novel material processing technology. High optical intensity is attained by the use of chirped-pulse amplification of ultra-short laser pulse. Such a high-intensity pulsed laser is referred to as High-Density Optical-Pulse. The methods of analyzing the interaction between the high-density optical-pulse and materials have been investigated in light of their possible use in future material processing technology. In the present paper, the research field and contents of such new interaction phenomena are outlined.
