Progress in Photon Science

This book features chapters based on lectures presented by world-leading researchers of photon science from Russia and Japan at the first "e;STEPS Symposium on Photon Science"e; held in Tokyo in March 2015. It describes recent progress in the field of photon science, covering a wide range of interest to experts in the field, including laser-plasma interaction, filamentation and its applications, laser assisted electron scattering, exotic properties of light, ultrafast imaging, molecules and clusters in intense laser fields, photochemistry and spectroscopy of novel materials, laser-assisted material synthesis, and photon technology.
