This book provides a thorough self-contained discussion of the physical processes occurring in laser-plasma interactions, including a detailed review of the relevant plasma and laser physics. It analyzes laser absorption and propagation, electron transport, and the relevant plasma waves in detail. The book also discusses the physics of the electric and magnetic fields in a laser-induced plasma medium, laser-induced shock waves, rarefaction waves, heat waves, and the related hydrodynamic instabilities (Rayleigh-Taylor, Richtmyer-Meshkov, and Kelvin-Helmholtz). Addressing the basic physics issues from first principles, it uses simple models wherever appropriate. The coverage is suitable for graduate students as well as experienced researchers.
