We present the first study of atomic clusters irradiated by ultra-short pulses. A weak prepulse has been shown to allow energetic coupling with the clusters enhancing the electron yield. © 2008 Optical Society of America.

Mendham KJ, Tisch JWG, Mason MB, Hay N, Smith RA, Marangos JPet al., 2002, Measurement and optimisation of ion energies from laser-cluster interactions

Measurement and optimization of ion energies from laser-cluster interactions were presented. The proton energy distribution achieved from the irradiation of 100 Å clusters by 90 fs laser pulses was measured by time-of-flight analysis. Experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of a chirped laser pulse on the laser-cluster interaction. Results indicated that a 60% increase in ion energies was achieved when the pulse was negatively chirped and this increase depended upon cluster size and species.
