Abstract

The current understanding of the interaction between ultrashort laser pulses and condensed matter is demonstrated on a few selected samples. Hot electronic carrier relaxation in GaAs, plasmon aided recombination in highly excited silicon and ultrafast energy transport in metals are discussed.
