Progress in Photon Science

This volume gathers chapters adapted from talks given by leading photon science researchers from Russia and Japan at the inaugural STEPS Symposium on Photon Science, held in Tokyo in March 2015. It reviews current advances across a broad range of topics that will interest specialists in the field.

The chapters explore laser-plasma interaction, filamentation and its uses, and laser-assisted electron scattering. They also examine unusual optical phenomena, ultrafast imaging, and the behaviour of molecules and clusters in intense laser fields.

The coverage extends to photochemistry and spectroscopy of novel materials, laser-assisted material synthesis, and photon technology.
