Abstract:
Important issues related to femtosecond (fs) pulses and its
relevance to this thesis are discussed. A fundamental characteristic, like the timebandwidth
product for fs pulses is decribed in detail. A brief review of generation of
ultrashort pulses and its propagation through an optically transparent media are
presented. Interaction of strong pulses with matter and different ionization processes are
also described. An overview of the thesis is presented at the end
