Preface
I wrote this book two years after completing the previous mono-
graph on the high-order harmonic generation of laser radiation in
plasma plumes. The reasons for writing another book on the same
topic were the incompleteness of data presented in the previous
publication, appearance of new results on plasma harmonics
generation, and willingness to provide a thorough analysis of some
nonlinear optical processes that occur in laser plasma during
the propagation of ultrashort laser pulses through this medium.
Although I have tried to not repeat my previous findings in this
book, some basic thoughts, which remain the same for both books,
have been presented and emphasized. As I hav ...
