Popis: This review paper provides a general introduction to the interaction of intense (>1015 W cm−2), femtosecond laser pulses with atomic clusters in the size range 500–105 atoms. A nanoplasma model of the laser–cluster interaction is used to elucidate the underlying physics. Measurements of ion emission from the laser–cluster interaction are presented together with numerical simulations. Emerging applications are described.
